Dear Tanner,
You are such a cutie! Just ask Dominic he says it to you all the time. "Hey cutie!" he says. You are becoming so independent. You want to do everything yourself. You get silverware yourself, snacks yourself and the other day you even got the gallon milk jug out of the fridge out of the fridge without asking for anything. In fact I'm pretty sure you probably would have poured it yourself if I didn't catch you.
When you do need help you ask in your adorable little voice "Milk pease?". You and Dominic both have great manners. Your "Tank you" could melt any heart. You say it without reminders and I eat it up. I'm so glad that you've learned to use them so quickly! Don't lose that. You get much more respect from people when you use them.
You are also an outdoors guy who loves getting dirty! Monday was Memorial Day and we got ice cream on the way home from the park. We walked and you and Dominic rode in the wagon. You had ice cream all over you by the time we got home. No worries though! We just hosed you off in the driveway. By the way..you LOVE sweets. You ate that ice cream cone in 10 minutes. It took Dominic 30. Later that day we got the water table out and you and Dominic played for a bit. When you were finished I took the plug out and the water drained beneath. You knelt right down to check it out. Then, with water flowing everywhere, you laid down on your belly right underneath the table to get a closer look at what was going on. You got up and were soaked, muddy and had a HUGE smile on your face! The look of "Yeah Mom, I figured it out" never gets old.
Keep growing buddy. I'll do my best to capture the moments.
Love you!!!
Mommy
