This year was Corban's 2nd halloween but it brought an all new adventure for him, as it was his first year to be old enough to go trick or treating. We loaded up the wagon with Corban and cousin Addy and around the neighborhood we went. Helena, like a few other cities decided to celebrate on Sat. night instead of Sun. which worked fine because we went to the Kingwood trunk or treat Sun night. Corban decided that he did in fact like the moon walk the previous week at church and when he spotted one he had to play in it. Corban was Tigger this year, while the costume was a size 2t it fit him perfect!
Asher had to have a costume too! We had a winnie the pooh but it was a 3-6 month and swallowed him whole so I found the pumpkin outfit at kids market for a couple of dollars and it was a great buy seeing as how he wore it a couple of times. I am dreading the years as costumes will get more expensive in the future. But the joy of 2 children of the same sex is hand me downs!
Corban is such a great big brother. He LOVES Asher. It is not unusual for me to be holding Asher or for him to be laying in his seat or anywhere mind you and Corban walks over to him and says "kiss." We have kissed head and toes and hands, tickled tummys and feet and brushed his hair. Corban is genuinely concerned when Asher cries and is super protective. If a paci has fallen out he must get it back in Asher's mouth. We can't go to sleep till after everyone, including Asher has had "kiss." I want to treasure and remember these days because I know the time will come too soon that he will run from hugs and shy away from kisses.
The boys cooperated pretty well for our first, of many, annual halloween pictures.
This picture makes my heart sing, Corban's most prized toy is his guitar. Asher had been crying and to make him "ok" Corban went over and laid his guitar in Asher's lap. The guitar fell out of his lap several times but every time it fell Corban picked it up and put it back in Asher's lap.
The past couple of weeks it is like a light has gone off in Corban. He is picking up words like crazy. He is starting to say "thank you" with out being prompted and after any sneeze you will hear "bless you." Since he is in his toddler bed we close the door to his room at night and lock the gate at the top of the steps, just in case. Last night after Eric put him to bed I was getting Asher to sleep so I could run down stairs and get a snack and I heard this knocking sound. I thought it was Eric and was about to ask him what he was doing when I it happened again. I realized it was from Corban's room. He was knocking on his door for someone to let him out, not banging like you would knock on a front door, he also did it at 4:45 this morning when it wasn't as cute but equally funny.

He read my post about wanting to go to Fiddler on the Roof and made it happen!!! We got all dressed up and went last Sunday afternoon as my Christmas present!!!! It was WONDERFUL!!! I am theatre through and through and it is truly one of my favorite things. When I was at school at UAB I attended lots of plays at the Alyce Stephens Center but I had never been to a Broadway performance! Needless to say I have kept my play bills and they will go into a scrapbook. The music, and acting and singing was incredible and there was not a single person who I thought umm, they really can't sing that they were all great!
