school kids

I love when Corbin walks in the door and tells me the things that are going on at school. I love all the little friendships that are made and the games they play.

He loves to play house with the cute little girl in his class, they have to play 17 times before that game is over. Then he plays star wars with two girls, he is Luke Skywalker and they are Princess Leah and Queen Amadalla. Playing house is a two person game and Star Wars is a three person game.

On a different day he plays "friend" with a buddy and he magically becomes fire droid.

Then he plays space ninjas with two guys.

Where do they come up with this stuff and why aren't they running from the girls who are trying to kiss them? (okay I would rather they not)


This week Corbin got to be MVP.

I took in his poster and a treat to share with the kids (which happened to be the treat that his cute friend, Brooklyn wanted him to bring, chocolate donuts) After he talked about his posters the kids got to ask some questions to one of us. One girl said, "Why is Corbin so funny?" Another girl said "I know why boys tease girls...it's because they like them") It was one of the girls he teases...all...the...time.

With his birthday coming up, all his friends wrote him birthday cards and gave them to him. We sat down and looked through them today. One girl said, "I like how you play with me at my house." Another girl said "You and Me." A sweet boy wrote "I like you. You are funny."

I think Corbin is really liking all this positive attention at school.

He told me the other day, I really hope that Brooklyn is in my 2nd grade class. I told him that there is a chance we won't be here next year. He said, "let's just not sell our house for three more years" It breaks my heart, but I know he will do well wherever we go, when we go.


These are the Valentines he did this year. He chose them after I showed him the idea, he thought they were hilarious.
