Tannerisms<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bye<\/strong>
\nThis week Jim was leaving and taking Tanner to the video store with him. Anxious to get out of the house, he glances back at me with a big smile and say’s “Bye Mommy! Good to see ya<\/em>!” LOL.<\/p>\n

Lost<\/strong>
\nTanner has an intersting way of defining “lost”. When I forget to put my seatbelt on he say’s “Mommy you lost your seatbelt<\/em>“. This week I got out of the car and put something in the laundry room before removing Ty from the car seat (he was safe in the garage – not in a parked car in the driveway – I am paranoid about that). Tanner said “Mommy! You lost Ty<\/em>!” \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Sign Language<\/strong>
\nNot sure if I mentioned this before but my mom used to teach sign language and she would sign services occasionally for the hearing impaired. As a result, she taught me quite a bit when I was young (I only remember a little now). I haven’t been real devoted to baby sign with Ty but I have been trying harder lately. Tanner is loving helping with this and loves to sign the word “NO”! He gets plenty of use out of THAT!<\/p>\n

Dreaming<\/strong>
\nTanner talks in his sleep. He rarely makes a bit of sense about it. Sidetrack – Brooke also talks in her sleep and she is hysterical. Did I ever mention that she woke up Daniel one night speaking in Old English in her dream because she had been reading an old english book before bed? THAT is sleep talk! I so wish he would have recorded her! That is the funniest! <\/p>\n

Anyhow, this week Tanner wakes up in his sleep and say’s “Don’t want do that! Paaaaapppppaaaaa!!” The next morning I told him what he said and asked him what he was dreaming about. I should have guessed at his answer. He told me that he wanted to stay at Papa’s house and didn’t want to go home! \ud83d\ude42 LOL. Remember, he spent last week camping with Papa and Sweetie for several days and had the time of his life so it figures that he would have dreamed about a return trip. In fact, when I told him to get ready to go with me to Sweeties house for a minute this weekend, he told me he was packing his tooth brush! Sheeeeshhhh! Grandparents don’t play fair!<\/p>\n

Tanner’s Story<\/strong>
\nToday I shared a much more detailed version of Tanner’s story than I usually do. He seemed to be interested in the conversation so I decided it was as good a time as any. Tanner’s story is rather complex. I could have stuck to the simpler truths but that really boxes in the story – his story isn’t simple. The event that prempted this was the hatching of Tanner’s triops this morning (refer to the triops posting if you don’t know what I am talking about). Tanner stared at the newly hatched little creatures and asked me where their parents were. This led into a conversation about embryo adoption and how Tanner is the parent of the triops now. As this was an easy lead in to his personal story, with a deep breath and a prayer I just dived in. We discussed all the participants in the story, the babies we lost, why he was placed for adoption, how God got involved with both families and spoke to all of our hearts…the whole 9 yards. At the end of my tale he looks at me and say’s “Mommy. That is a lot of parents<\/em>!” LOL! I told him that God used a lot of people in his life to bring about “Tanner’s story”. He was satisfied with that answer and then asked me with a smile to tell it again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
