Tanner proclaimed himself married when he was in pre-school, he was about 4 yrs old. His bride was a sweet little red headed girl. The two were inseparable, they were often caught having such tender moments together; talking, playing together. This little girl's name is Elyse. She has fair skin with freckles, long red hair, and a dainty stature. Tanner would always talk about her and the things that they did that day. The day that he wedded her (the teacher's informed me of this), he and Elyse got dressed in dress up clothes and went up to the book area, they held hands and wah la.. they were married. Another memorable day about Tanner and his favorite gal was on Valentine's Day Eve (Tanner was 3 1/2). This was Feb 13th and we were preparing for the day of passing out valentines. Tanner did a little practice run of this and handed one out to Cole (an infant in his swing at that time), his toy lawn mower, the bed that Mommy and Daddy slept on, and the favorite spots that his kitty frequented. I asked Tanner who is girlfriend was and he told me it was Elyse, I asked him what does he do with Elyse to show her that he likes her. His response to this was , " I sit on her". Oh.. I will never forget that.
We have kept in touch with Elyse and her family as she really is such a sweet girl and the two kids have a special bond with each other. It had been a year since Tanner had last seen Elyse. Dane and I decided that we would have her over for some swimming fun and a little bit of slippy sliding too. Tanner was so elated when Elyse was at our door, he couldn't get out the door fast enough, and when he did get out, he couldn't hug her long enough either. They had such a great day together.... just like the old days.
We also had his good pal from pre-school days, Steven. The two of them really like to be boys and rough house. Steven has a little brother that is Cole's age too. They boys really enjoyed seeing each other and so did the little guys too. I really enjoyed seeing the moms, we really had a nice time chatting it up while the kids played so well together.
