Corbs is not such a little boy anymore. I honestly don't know where the time has gone. I mean, we have had two other children since him so it would make since that he is growing up, but still it has just gone too fast.
Corbin has a personality like no other person I know and you can see it all over his face, his expressions say it all! He loves to get spazzed up and he gets so excited about the most simplest things; like going to the park, or getting to watch a movie, or getting to make popcorn...
He is very creative, I mean really, he is better than I am. For instance, today he found a stick, found some shoelace and made himself a bow (and used other sticks for the arrows). He was thrilled (until it broke 1 hour later) He has taught me how to make swords and shields out of diaper boxes, he loves making binoculars with paper and tape, he goes through tons of paper just making different maps, he ties rope from his bunk bed and uses them as monkey vines, or just to climb down, and the list goes on...
Corbs has got a one tracked mind, when he wants something and I'm not there to make it or get it for him...he is on it. I could just lay in bed all day and he would take care of himself, the only thing is, he loves me as his audience!!
Corbs has a pretty sensitive side, too. He can get devastated by something we say to him and he tells us we broke his heart, ouch, that one hurts. Or, I love when I see him take such good care of his brothers and makes sure they are okay! He is also quite shy. As much as he LOVES performing at home, he is sooo shy in public. It was a huge achievement to have him give his part for the primary program!
Raising this kid can be challenging at times, but when I see him and Taylor playing for hours laughing and playing pretend, I have to smile. When he does something without asking, I am grateful he is being such a good example to his brothers. When it is Monday night and we are sitting in the family room and he chooses to share his testimony all by himself, I feel, it's worth it all!
