Corbin: 5 Years Old

I’m so late in putting this up. Corbin turned 5 on January 8th. 

Our baby boy is five years old. Wow... Wow! A lot has happened in his short life time. He has already lived in 4 different states. Indiana, Florida, Utah (for a few months), Idaho and back to Utah.

I've wanted to write blogs for both our boys each birthday since they were born. I know I haven't been great at it, but I hope to change that from here on out.

Corbin is our little Irish red head. We get asked a lot if they are brothers. Really? For one, that's not even your business. But, yes they are, thank you. And yes, they even have the same Dad. Yes, I have been asked that before. People are entertaining.

Corbin has a strong mind. When he wants something, he is pretty determined to get it someway. Usually, he tries negotiation. Yeah, he is his Dads son alright. Adam and Corbin are very similar in personality. They both love fun. If it's not fun, they don't really want to do it. But when something does peak their interest, they want to jump in head first. They both love people and love to interact with them. However, they are selective with whom they interact with and how they spend that energy.

Corbin is also sensitive. In his own way. He can usually tell when I'm feeling really sad. He will hug me and tell "Mom, I'm going to take care of you." Which usually means giving me a blanket and stuffed animal to hug. He will kiss my cheek and stroke my face.

He loves to get you to laugh. He makes lots of funny faces and has a very contagious laugh. A smile that brightens your day.

Corbin can also be pretty impatient at times. When he cries, it tends to be pretty vocal and loud. He can be bossy. But, that's all fine. He is full of ideas and knows what he wants. Perhaps a leader in the making.

Some of the things I'm most proud of though, is his willingness to pray. When its prayer time, he almost always wants to say it. His growing love for Jesus makes my heart burst. The questions he asks during scripture reading. Saying "I love you" a dozen times a day.

Corbin is exhausting. But, we love him so much and are proud of this little boy he is growing into.
