The Tanner & Violet Channel: It's been a cold January

Things that Tanner says

June 2014

Tanner was moving something and he held up his arms to show his muscles and said "I am stronger than I look."

September 20, 2013

Tanner found this little box of Altoid Chewing gum and told me " You only lick them, don't swallow it, then when you are done put it back. "

Now I know why they are all sticky.

While driving on the road today Tanner saw a yellow car and said, "Look mom, Bumblebee."

Tanner asked me if he could watch something. Then he said "Yes, we can." (From Bob the Builder)

May 1, 2013:

I told Tanner not to play with the printer/fax machine. He really likes playing with the phone that is attached to it. He came over to me and told me to plug my ears. He thought that if I had my ears plugged I wouldn't be able to hear him play with the machine.

April 21, 2013:

I was sitting on the floor in the living room and Tanner got a stool and set it next to me and looked me in the eye and said,"How are you doing Mommy?" Then he said, "You can lay on my arm." And put my head on it. He's so caring.

Also he said "Don't you change the TV channel."

Tonight while trying to get Tanner to bed he was looking at something on the wall and said "Big like Dad's belly". We weren't sure what he was pointing at.

While trying to get Tanner to take a nap he was looking at the ceiling in the bedroom and said "Mommy a hippo! Aligator! Giraffe. " I asked him what they were doing and he said "Fighting."

Dan just asked me if I wanted to watch a movie. Tanner said "Yes, Mickey Mouse."

January 12, 2013:

Tanner really likes Mickey Mouse Club house and while we were visiting my cousin Hillary the other day he started singing "Hot Dog Hot diggity Dog" during lunch.

And yesterday when we went shopping he got out of the car and said "Oh Toodles."

And then at Kohls he started singing "Jesus Sunbeam" over and over. He doesn't quite know all the words but he makes some sounds inbetween Jesus and Sunbeam because he knows they are there.

He loves singing.

January 2, 2013 :

Tanner and I were standing in line to fix our Comcast issue and there was a lady in front of us who had on some sort of furry coat thing. Tanner touched the collar and said "Dog, Woof Woof."

A conversation with Tanner:

Mom: Your bum is broken?

Tanner: Yes

August 31, 2012:

Tanner just loves his dad and today was no different. Tanner was just so fussy today and I asked him what he needed and he said, " My Dad." It's so cute and it's one of his first sentences.

It's been a cold January

It has been so cold outside this month that we've had to come up with other options of entertainment for Tanner. I finally decided to let him watercolor. He loved it.

His finished product. One of the colors that he said he wanted was black. And I asked him if he could draw a circle. That is what's in the middle. His circle.

Yesterday Tanner asked me for the ramp. Usually he uses it for cars but when I came back into his room to check on him he decided to use it as a slide and went down head first.

Tanner set this up by himself. Dan was working from home a couple weeks ago and Tanner set the chairs next to each other and grabbed Dan's hand so they could go for a drive. He also had to have his Sunglassees. (That's how he says it.)
