Terrific Tanner



I have been so in awe of Tanner this week. He has taken his eye patch so well. He lets me put it on without a fight and only fights a little to take it off (it hurts!).


We have been calling his patch a sticker and I've given him his own stickers to play with and here is the result...


They keep him pretty entertained!
Here are some other tidbits that have just shown how wonderful he is...


  • When I was so worried this eye problem would hold him back in things and make others look at him differently, he walked right up to another girl in the doctor's waiting room, gave her a hug, grabbed her hand, and took her to the toys.

  • He stopped in the middle of the road to yell hi to a lady 30 feet away.

  • If I give him a spoon or shovel, he is immediately stirring and saying "mmm, tasty" just like Grandma K taught him.

  • He sings the hymns in church now!

  • When he throws a tantrum, I tell him to go to time out, he obeys, the crying/screaming stops instantly, we hug and the whole thing is over.

We are so grateful for our little Tanner. He is such a good boy. We love him so much!

Can you teach mine to not throw a tantrum and to SIT in time out when I tell her too! You've mastered it!

Tanner is the cutest little guy and you're such a great mom. I'm glad he's doing well!
