Just Some Ramblings of a Mom

Here are a few names of some of Corgin's toys. He named them all by himself.

His tricycle: Mr. Blue Mountain Bike

His bicycle: Mr. Blue Green Mountain Bike

One of his stuffed animals: Mr. Choo-choo Train Bear

I love that they are all Mr. something or other. He cracks me up. Oh, there's also Mr. Burns, another stuffed animal that he got at the ER when he burned his arm, but he might have had a little help naming that one.

We took Corgin to the fair and on our way home he says to Clint and I: That was fun. I had a good day. Thank you for taking me to the fair.

That makes it all totally worth it. He is such a sweet little boy.

Here's how our potty training is going. Corgin is pretty good to go number one, however he is determined not to go number two in the toilet. The other day Clint went to check on him and he was hiding in his closet.

Clint: What are you doing?

Corgin: Go away dad.

Clint: Why?

Corgin: I'm making stinkies in my pants and I don't want to go in the toilet!

Then the child closed the closet door. He is so stubborn about it. My patience is starting to run out. Anyone have any advice?

Linkers has found his thumb, if only that would work in the middle of the night.

five things about linkoln

1. Linkoln is my little cuddlebug. He is always content when he is being held. When he is tired he just snuggles down in my arms or next to my neck (when I burp him and he falls asleep). I love it and hope it lasts a little longer.

2. Linkoln is very vocal. He talks and talks and talks! He coos when he is happy and he yells when he wants attention or is upset. He gets very vocal when he is tired and makes the cutest sounds as he falls asleep.

3. Linkoln is a morning person (like my other boys). He likes to wake up early and is really loud, but once we unwrap him he is happy and all smiles. He is happy most of the morning and is glad to just play and be up.

4. Linkoln is my little lizard. He loves his tongue and he always has it going. He has done this since the day he was born, and just last night he was licking one of his toys. It cracks me up.

5.Linkoln is pretty easily entertained. He loves to watch cartoons or play with his toys and will be happy with that stuff for quite a while. He also loves loves loves to watch Corgin.

Conversations with my Two Year Old

Corgin: Mom, I have to tell you something.
Me: Okay. What?
Corgin: I need . . . a snowmobile.

A few minutes later . . . . .

Corgin: Dad, I have to tell you something.

Clint: What?

Corgin: I need . . . a motorbike. A green one.

Clint: Really. Mom and Dad can't even afford to buy these things for ourselves, what makes you think we can buy one for you?

Corgin: Yeah, with money!

Clint: Where are we going to get this money?

Corgin: On the choo choo train.

Clint: The train doesn't have enough money.

Corgin: Grandma Kristi has money!

Clint: No, she doesn't have enough money either.

Corgin: I will earn money.

Clint: How do you think you're going to do that?

Corgin: By riding my green bicycle bike.

Clint: You'd have to do a lot of cool tricks if you want to make money that way.

Corgin: Yeah, I do cool tricks! I do back flips!

Clint: Great.

Everytime Corgin gets in trouble and Clint or I get after him, he will start crying and say, "I need a big ol' hug, gimme a big ol' hug!" Hard to stay mad at him for too long when all he wants is a 'big ol' hug'. He keeps us laughing.
