St. Patrick's Day . . . and Corbyn :)

I just had to hurry and post this because it brightened my day. When I came home from taking Kelsea to school, I walked in the door and Corbyn was wearing this. He was SO excited that it's St. Patrick's Day and he said that he would be the coolest because he was all dressed in green. In the nicest way possible, I tried to explain to him that his sweats were too short and that he probably shouldn't wear them to school, but he said, "I know, Mom. I see what you are thinking, but don't worry, everyone will think I'm the coolest because my pants are green." I explained that he might get teased because they are too short, but he explained, once again, that I shouldn't worry because everyone would love his pants. I managed to talk him out of wearing that shirt for his green school shirt and when I said that he should probably keep it untucked, he said, "Okay, mom, I'll listen to you on this one." (Now, you have to imagine Corbyn's voice as these things were said because it was so darling . . . and a little bit funny.) I told Corbyn I wanted to take a picture of him and he was happy to do it - he then said, "I wish you could take some video" which I did. He left the house all grins and waved to me as he headed down the street. He was so proud to be Corbyn in his 'cool sweats.' I waved back to him, then went inside and said a prayer that he would not get teased. He is so funny! I truly hope he has the best, 'coolest' day ever!!

Oh Mindi! Trade faces and that could be my little Nathan! I will say a little prayer for him too that he won't be teased. As a mother, I think he's adorable!
