Our bank account just got a little bigger....

Since I am basically using this blog to track life events and since I posted a few times about our potty training adventure, I thought I should go ahead and mention that we are no longer wearing diapers!!! In fact its been for a little over a month now so shame on me for just getting around to writing this. We are still using a pull up at bed time BUT he stays dry over night which is awesome, but I don't want to rush him because I know the moment I dont make him wear one we will have a wet mattress and who wants that?! Other than at night though we are in the big boy underpants and very few to no accidents at all. We are to the point now that he will run and tell us he has to go. Since I am new to this whole having a kid thing lol and potty training, I may be doing this all wrong BUT since he is a boy and when the event comes up that he is screaming he has to 'pee pee' while we are out on a walk or outside some where we will just shuffle him along to a hiding place and let him drop his pants. I don't know maybe thats wrong but I would rather him do that then chance trying to run to a bathroom somewhere if at all chance him wetting his pants. Hopefully by the end of summer we will be without pull ups all together! Way to go Corbin!!!

Sunny day, no wind, ALMOST summer

This past weekend as our first real sunny and warm day and there was no wind to give us a chill so of course we took advantage of this and went to the beach to frolic and play!

Since it has been some time since we had taken the dog and it was such a nice day we opted to head clear down to the end of OKI to the 'Point' as the locals call it and pick a spot there. The point is the very end of OKI and it is where the ocean meets the ICW. It is how local boats are also able to access the ocean. the water here tends to be less aggressive and the beach seems to be less traveled as well, since you have to drive all the way down the island to get to it so it was perfect for everyone to enjoy.

As always my fearless water bug could have cared less that the water was so blasted cold still ad the dog didn't care either I guess cause he jumped in too. I however laid my blanket out and enjoyed the sunshine. PLEASE NOTE: when in doubt, wear sun screen, later in the evening I was regretting not listening to my husband (shh don't tell him that) my back was burnt up...I got my base tan started... I guess.

Finally doing something with the sand other than eating it!

Just a mama and her boy

Lets have story time

Corbin has always enjoyed reading but his attention span never lasted for more than a page or two. Recently he has really taken a liking to having books read to him before bed and I will not deny him that. Last night he requested that daddy read him a story and the book he picked was his Thomas the train busy book. I try not to interfere when they are having father son time since Corbin always has his time with mommy but as I sat on the couch I could hear them chatting and Corbin telling his daddy about the story and all his little train pieces that I could just not resist sneaking to snap some pictures of the moment.

A personality for days

In every picture I take I feel as though I capture Corbin and his unique personality, however there are those times when it obvious that that I capture more personality that I was expecting. Just look and see...

Showing me just how good his blue juice was

Too cool for his own good

He was showing me all his cool dance moves

Always acting a fool

Puddle Jumper

The end of February was very wet and rainy for us here in NC with crazy up and down temperatures it seemed like we had more days stuck in the house than being able to get out and play. On this particular day it was raining buckets and FINALLY it seemed to have stopped, to our surprise when it stopped the temperature seemed to climb a bit to so no better time to release some cooped up energy and jump in puddles!

Loki enjoyed the puddles too!

Stopped for a brief moment to show me his silly face

Loki was racing around the yard to see how many times he could leap over the puddles
