Tomorrow is the Big Day

Yes tomorrow is the big day.  But first we must get through today.  I have to wash mommy's car and probably help change the oil.  Mommy has lots of last minute errands to run.  Abby is coming over to play today too while her mom goes to the doctor.  We've got to pack our car and then check the house for anything we might have left behind.  Then early tomorrow morning we will load up and move out.  We are heading to Florida.  Mommy says it's called the sunshine state so I'm guessing I will get to the meet the sun since it's his home right?  I've never been in the car longer than an hour or two so this should be fun.  Well just thought I would go ahead and blog this morning since my nights have gotten a little later this week.  When daddy is home I hate to sleep so he lets me go downstairs and play which means later bedtime, then when he goes back to work mommy has a hard time getting me to sleep.  I was close to 1 am when I went to the bed last night.  Oh boy mommy hasn't happy.  Well I'm going to go and finish packing and get ready to help Harold work on the cars.  Hopefully tomorrow I'll blog from the great place of Florida!

A Day In My Life

So my days are pretty much never the same twice.  But a typical day is me waking up and then waking mommy up.  Boy she sure does love her sleep.  We get up and try to be quiet leaving the bed room so we don't wake daddy up.  I have a race car bed in my parents room but most of the time I just snuggle between them and they say that's ok.  So anyway we come to the living room and if I'm lucky Mickey Mouse clubhouse is on and I can watch that while mommy makes breakfast.  Mommy and I aren't big breakfast people.  Usually a toaster strudel or a biscuit will do us just fine.  Mommy puts butter in my biscuit and she puts crazy jelly on hers.  Then we watch our cartoons.  I am a fan of Little Einsteins but since they come on at 5:30 and 6 am mommy doesn't so much like when we are up to watch those.  After breakfast we play.  We read books, play cars, and if it's not too hot we might go outside and play.  But once the ants start biting we come back in.  Sometimes we got to Granny's for lunch and we see Aunt Sharon and Uncle D there.  Then it's back home to fix lunch for Daddy.  He works crazy days.  One week he works 5 days and the next week he only works 2.  It's hard to keep up with him.  Then after lunch is usually nap time.  I nap for about an hour maybe longer if mommy is lucky.  I nap in my big boy bed.  When I get up we have to get stuff ready for daddy to go to work.  I am in charge of getting him a bottle of water and when we sit down I always help him with his cheat sheets.  When daddy leaves at 5:25 we usually head for Granny's to spend the rest of our afternoon there.  But today we won't.  Nana has to go to church so mommy offered to let the kids come play.  Yippie!  Now that is a typical day.  But you got to throw in run to the bank, go to the store, go for a walk, a bath, no naps, tons of snacks.  So it's hard to describe a normal day because nothing is ever normal around here.  I'm not a fan of schedules and my mommy is all about them.  But we manage to make it.  So I better go get ready for the kids.  Can't wait to play with my toys outside.  I'll try to blog tonight but don't hold your breathe :)

I'm Back

I'm back and better than ever! I can walk, talk, and do pretty much anything I want...as long as mommy and daddy aren't watching :) It's been quiet a while since I last blogged. Let's see in about two weeks I turn 2!!! Can you believe it? I've done so much in the past two years that I can't imagine what else is coming. This summer was great. I've gotten to play with my cousins, swim, go to the park, play with friends, play on my own personal playground, and spend lots of time with my parents, which by the way are pretty cool, well to be parents anyway. My mom has been planning my birthday forever and it's coming up pretty fast. Everyday we work on another project for the party. Banners, a fence, vests, and so much more. I just hope everyone knows how much time mommy has put into this party. I'm so excited to have horses at my party and all my friends too.

So Harold and Granny are treating us to a vacation this year. I heard mommy and daddy talk about a staycation. Which turned out to be just like our usual days. Granny and Harold have been talking about a place called Florida. Mommy has been running around like crazy this week packing a bag. She has put everything in our bags. Clothes, socks, shoes, my new toothbrush, my body wash, my shampoo, I"m beginning to wonder if we are coming back home or if we are moving to Florida. Harold says we are going to build frog houses and play in the sand. Now I remember playing in some blue sand mommy bought for my sand and water table. That didn't last long. I poured all the sand out of my table and now we have blue spots in our yard. Mommy has been excited about putt putt golf. Now I've got a golf set at Granny's but mommy says it's different in Florida. Apparently mommy likes putt putt golf and she's pretty good at it; she even showed me a paper where she beat daddy on their honeymoon. Mommy booked us a room tonight in Florida and we leave Friday. I've gotta help Harold wash the cars tomorrow and get them ready to go. Daddy has to work Friday so we won't be able to leave until he gets home.

So other than the whole Florida thing let me catch you up on what's going on around here. Daddy got a new gun today. He got a Glock .45 ACP. We drove a long way to go get it. I got to hear him shoot it tonight and boy is it loud. Our computer here at home bit the dust as mommy says so we had to get a new one. Mommy picked out a laptop and now I want one too. Mommy showed me some today at Walmart and I think I'll ask Santa for one. Which did you know Christmas is coming again this year? What could I possibly ask for this year? Mommy and Daddy bought me a big bed. No more baby bed for me. Which I honestly only slept in my baby bed maybe three times. And that was only for a nap. I haven't slept in my bed at night only during the day. Me and mommy like to cuddle together at night. We celebrated mommy's 28th birthday about two weeks ago. Daddy and I bought mommy a new mattress for her futon in my toy room. I love sitting on it and watching Good Luck Charlie. That's my favorite show. I love Charlie. Mommy and daddy have been working hard to make my play room more fun for me. So I'm almost two and I'm talking up a storm. I can say anything I want too really. I'm learning all about opposites. I know that if something isn't inside it's outside and if it's not hot it's cold. Mommy and daddy say I'm very smart but I think all mommy's and daddy's probably say that. But in my case it's true ;) Oh and let me tell you what I did during church. We had homecoming and we haven't been to church lately. Did I mention that I love root beer, well it's kind of important to this story, anyway, we are in church and after church we were going to have lunch. Mommy had brought me some root beer to drink, so Harold asks mommy what did she bring me to drink and she whispered root beer, well she said it just loud enough that I could hear. Well that's all I needed to hear. I hollered out "I want a beer" mommy was so embarrassed and daddy laughed. Daddy thought it was so funny and mommy was just red in the face. Hey I'm a boy what do you expect? Anyway I got my root beer and all was well. Well I think it about it. I'm sure I will think of something I've forgotten tomorrow but for tonight that's all. And I promise I'm gonna blog every night...or at least every other night. :)

Bees

So lately mommy and me had been talking a lot about bees. Well I love bugs and everything is a bee to me. Mommy says all the bugs have names, ants, beetles, stink bugs, flys, fleas, etc. but to me they are all bees. Today I learned a big lesson in bees. They will STING!!!!! We were playing outside at Granny's house and I was running around barefooted because who likes shoes? Not me. Anyway I was running full force and then I felt it! I sat down on the ground and started crying. Mommy picked me up thinking I had stumped my toe since I was holding it. When she looked at the bottom she saw something in my foot. Granny pulled it out and they thought it was "fire" grass til I told them it was a bee. Sure enough a bee stung me and left his stinger in my foot. Boy did it hurt. Luckily daddy had left his first aid kit in mommy's car. She had everything in there to make it all better. Then mommy surprised me with a little gift since I was feeling bad. I got a foam maker. I'll have to get pictures of it soon. So that's been my day. Stupid bees :( I don't think I'll be bringing home any baby bumbles bees anytime soon.

16 days later...

Ooops...it's been a few days since I blogged last. Apparently I'm too busy. My days are more interesting than ever! I'm always learning something new and testing my limits :) Since it's been a while I thought I would take the time to let you know what I do during a typical day. So I usually wake up around 9 or 9:30 and if it's by 9 am I get to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (my favorite-well that and Spongebob). Mommy keeps a big blanket and pillow on the couch just for snuggling in the morning. While I'm watching my show mommy usually makes me breakfast. My favorites are biscuits or toaster strudels. Then we read some books or if it's not too hot we go outside and play. We usually play cars or ball. Sometimes we get bored so we walk to Granny and Harold's to see what is going on over there (which is always something fun) If it's during the week we stay until Aunt Sharon and Uncle D come for lunch. I eat yogurt with Aunt Sharon and fruit with Uncle D, but today was extra special because I got to try sunflower seeds (and I loved them). Then we usually head back home once they leave. We come home and start getting lunch ready for daddy. When it's time to wake daddy up; mommy opens the bedroom door then I jump on the bed until we finally get daddy up. We have lunch and watch tv. Then for some reason mommy and daddy try to convince me to take a nap (BORING!!!) if I give in and take a nap I usually sleep about an hour to an hour and a half. When I wake up we play until it's time for daddy to go to work. Then we head back to Granny and Harold's to play. If we don't have dinner with Granny we come back home later on and mommy cooks. Then it's bath time and play time again. Then somewhere around midnight I get ready for bed. Now this isn't my favorite time of the day nor is it mommy's. I usually put up a fight and we usually both end up crying. Every once in a while when mommy actually lets me skip my nap I do go to bed without fighting her but that's just not normal. Want to hear something kind of gross that I did today? Tonight while mommy was cooking dinner I went to our bathroom and washed my hands. Mommy was so proud of me. Until she realized that I couldn't reach the sink and I had washed my hands in the toliet! She screamed that it was dirty. Looked like clean blue water to me. Oh well. Well we have a semi-busy weekend coming up. We are having the Bay's over Saturday for a cookout and we might be going to visit Aunt Lindsay Sunday. Guess we will just see how it goes. Sorry about not blogging every night. Maybe I can ask mommy to fill in some nights :)

Breaking News!!!!

Breaking News!!!!

Independence Day isn't about me being Independent. :( I will find out more about this holiday and let you know tonight.

My Name Is...

Corbin! I finally understand. My name isn't JJ although I thought it was. I'm still a little confused because mommy calls me Corbino, Daddy calls me Scooter, Harold calls me HOT, Granny calls me everything but Corbin, but I think it's my name. We were looking at baby pictures last night and I saw pictures of me when I was first born and I said "baby"...then mommy asked me what is that baby's name? Of course I know that is Baby Corbin. Then she kept pointing to me and saying Corbin. I played along and said Corbin. YAY!!!! Mommy gets so excited at everything I do :)

And mommy has been telling everyone how independent I am and guess what? Apparently tomorrow everyone is celebrating it! Tomorrow is Independence Day! I am super excited to have a day all to myself. We are going to Granny and Harold's early in the morning for an ALL day cookout. Lots of fun and lots of food. Oh and lots and lots of swimming! YAY! I'll let you know how my day goes tomorrow! Night night!
