Shake it All About

Korbin's new favorite past time is SINGING! She loves songs like "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," "Mr. Sun," and "Mary Had a Little Lamb."

We've Hokie Pokied and shook it all about, we've danced all over the living room, and we've sung our little hearts out. We've even made paper airplanes, and watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II- Secret of the Ooze a million times. (Besides my brother and cousins when they were her age, I've never seen a kid love this movie more.) Other cool things the Korbster does is draw! She says, "I draw circle." And guess what, she's been drawing the best circles for the last few months. We're working on making a 'K' for Korbin now. She still says every color is "pink." Who can blame her? Pink is a fabulous color.The language keeps on growing too. She's very good at pronouncing her Rs, with no hint of a W. I know this because she says, "Sarah" very well!!! Even though we're not home as often as most parents, I feel this little smarty pants is a self-teacher. She is VERY independent, and really doesn't like help. The only time she does, she says, "Help you" in a very Oklahoman way. Many of her little sayings involve a tiny accent which is too cute for words.

Since Mommy and Daddy have Thursdays and Fridays off we've been able to take Koko Bean places and avoid all the weekend crowds. Last week, we took a trip out to Crown Center in downtown KC, MO. We got to go to the Crayola Store and check out the Sea Adventure.

Mommy and Daddy even had fun in the fun mirrors at the Sea Adventure.

All I can do is sit back and watch this little girl play and explore. I am speechless most of the time and instead of joining her, I can't help but stare in awe. She picks things up quickly. I can remember when she was five months old, picking her up from daycare and Mina asking where the baby doll's nose was. Korbin pointed it out right away. Mina tells me on a daily basis how smart she is, and I just smile and thank God for fish oil and good genes....:) Maybe one day, like Uncle Paul says, "she'll be President. Who would vote against her?"
