Happy Birthday to my Amazing Boy!

First off I just have to say...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CORBYN!

8 years ago I become a Mom for the first time.  It was amazing, terrifying, and magical all at once.  I won't lie I was a wreck with that new baby boy...let's face it...sometimes I still am.  I had never changed diapers, held a baby that small, and didn't know that if they accidentally peed in their mouth while you figured out that boys are super hard to change diapers on, that it's sterile and all will be fine!  {don't worry I only made that mistake in the hospital once, and wouldn't you have liked to be that nurse on the other end of the call button...panicked mother frantically asking what to do if they pee in there mouth, buhahaha}.

Corbyn was a true gift to me, still is each and every day.  I prayed for a boy for our first child, and gosh did I ever get a boy!  He's the typical dirty stinky boy.  This kid though...he's smart!  And not just book smart, like inventive smart {straight A student}.  He amazes me with all his ideas, granted the trying to save every piece of garbage or cool metal thing he finds on the ground to use in an invention sometimes makes me wanna scream...it's really special.  Corbyn is such a fun, well mannered, incredibly caring boy.  He has a real heart for others and I can see Christ's love in him each and every day.  He's the best big brother.  It never fails that he makes me feel so special, complimenting me on my hair or clothes...just constantly coming up and giving me a squeeze and saying he loves me.  He has no idea how much that means to me.

Today is his day, and he gets to chose his breakfast & dinner.  He chose watermelon and toast for breakfast.  The toast is kind of a big deal since I normally shy away from carbs with him during breakfast.  But I figured what the heck..it's his day!  For lunch he doesn't know it yet, but I will be surprising him with lunch from somewhere and eating together on the playground.  He's going to love it.  Then for dinner he has chosen Oregeno's.  Yay!  

I'm so thankful that God chose me to be his Mom.  I am so proud of him.  We are so lucky to have such an amazing kid.  Happy Birthday Bubba!  We love you.
