It’s 5am, who wants Elmo?

That was pretty much our morning today.  I was so bummed to get back to work today but I was really glad I didn’t have to go in until later.  That is until a certain someone had plans this morning.  Let me rewind…Korbin fell asleep at 7:11 pm in the car on the way home from dinner last night and stayed zonked out until approximately 5 this morning when I heard a yelling down the hall of Korbin saying, “mama, hey, I’m aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhwaaaaaaake!’  I runstumble into his room and he says, ‘hey, mama, I’m waked up.’  I run him into the potty and I said, ‘baby, it’s too early.’  He said, ‘ummm, NO, it is not, it’s time for Ellllmo.’  I put on the cable demand channel and attempt to fall asleep in my bed.  Yeah, that was a sad attempt at an additional hour.  After Elmo, there were tears, but I knew he/I needed to get more rest.  He finally fell asleep and then I popped up about 15-20 min later and had to weasel out of bed to grab my only possible moment at a shower.  While drying off I hear the trash truck outside and the pitter patter of little feet in the hallway.  I open the bathroom door to have Korbin say, ‘whoa, that truck is clooooose to me.’  I can’t help but smile, even though I would have happily given numerous  dollars for an hour of peaceful, uninterrupted sleep.  Oh well, maybe another day.

Recent Korbin Funnies

So that I’ll actually remember some of the cute things Korbin says, I have a funny saying  update…so we are driving home from school/work last week and Korbin is having a mild freak out session about chocolate.  (Why did I give in to the whole idea of one piece of chocolate on the way home?!?)  So he’s asking over and over, and over, and over for another one chocolate and I said, Korbin!  When we get home you can have another one, we are not home, we are driving right now.  To which Korbin said, maaaaam, just ignore me.  Really?  I was speechless.  This kid of mine is a hoot!

Happy, Happy Friday

Not much is going on here. Korbin is talking so much and learning a ton from his teacher. He moved to the two’s classroom after his June 18th birthday. He is really getting to be such a big boy. He says, “I’m not a baby mama, I’m a beig boy.’ He seems to have a slight New Jersey accent (although he is very much the California) and it’s really cute. He would like to drive now and has told me his legs are longer now. I told him a few days a go he couldn’t drive until his legs were longer. He has no idea how much I would love for him to drive me around on errands. Some day I suppose and it will likely be here before I know it. I love this little guy to the moon and back again and I am so happy to be his mom.

Happy, happy Friday!
