Why I love my kids

I saw this idea on Scott's cousin, Janelle's blog quite some time ago. I really wanted to do it, but hadn't gotten around to it yet, now seems like a good time to reflect on what makes my boys so great.


CORBIN~

I love that Corbin is so willing to share with his little brother (most of the time). Whenever Corbin wants a string cheese out of the fridge, he gets one for dex at the same time. I'm not sure if he does this so he doesn't have to share his own or he just wants to be nice, either way, I love it. I also love how he can cheer me up in pretty much any situation. He says the funniest things and tells me he loves me when nobody forces him to. He loves spending time with us reading, and spelling anything that comes to mind. I love how he says some words totally wrong, but it is so dang cute (stastubbies, for example is strawberries). I admire ( I don't know if love is the right word, depending on the situation) how he remembers every single thing I have ever said, EVER! Maybe it will come in handy in the future. I love how if he remembers us doing something before he will mention how we did this "Last time" or "yesterday" even if we have done it several times or it has been several months since the time he is speaking of. I love how when he looks in the mirror at his new haircut he rubs his head and says, "I look just like daddy!" and is so proud to look like him. Overall, Corbin is an amazing kid and I can't imagine life without him.


DEXTER~

I LOVE Dexter's crazy hair, and how when he gets out of the bathtub, he loves to just sit in front of the mirror while I brush it. He'd let me brush it for hours if I had the time. I love how when he wakes up from a nap it looks like the worlds strongest winds were in his room blowing that hair so that it stands out in every direction. I love how he stands at the top of the stairs and throws toys and books down and says "uh oh" everytime, even though it is all obviously on purpose. I love how when I vaccum the floor he is constantly in the way spinning in circles. Or how when he plays with toys he has to do it with his head upside down on the floor, his feet planted with his legs straight and his bum high in the air. I don't know how he doesn't pass out from the blood rushing to his head. I love how he loves to cuddle, everytime I pick him up he puts his head down on my shoulder and just wants some loves. He's such a funny kid, and I adore everything about him.


BOTH BOYS~

I love how much they love their daddy. They get so excited when he gets home from work, that they fight over who gets hugs and kisses first. I love how they look for each other when they don't know where the other is. Or how I find them playing quietly together without any fighting. I love how they both fall asleep in any position at any time, they are so unpredictable! I love it when they manage to crack each other up like crazy and I don't even know what is so funny. They act so silly together, and laugh so hard that I end up laughing too. I love how they both want to be just like their daddy. Whenever he gets his tools out to fix something, they follow him around and try to help. They are also both fascinated by electronics, just like daddy.

I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family, I don't know what I would do without any of them. They are the light of my life.
