The Tanner & Violet Channel: LadyBug Week

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.

February 5 2013:

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."

January 12, 2013:

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."

November 16 2012 :

A conversation with Tanner:

Tanner: Broke

Mom: What is broke?

Tanner: This (pointing to his bum)

Mom: Your bum is broken?

Tanner: Yes

Tanner's favorite words that he says all day long: Truck, Happy, Yuck, Grandpa, Dada, and Mama.

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.

LadyBug Week

This week last week we learned about Lady Bugs. We learned that they are at type of Beetle, there are lots of different kinds of Lady bugs. They eat Aphids and are good for Gardens, and we learned about how a lady bug grows. There really aren't very many things on lady bugs. We went to the Library to get some books on them and they didn't have very many. But we still had fun learning about them. One of the art projects we decided to make a lady bug garden.

Violet and Tanner gluing on their leaves. Tanner loves gluing things.

Dan had to help Violet since it's the first time she's ever used glue. She loves doing the same things as her brother. I tried to give her some crayons to do something different but she didn't want that.

Violet and Tanner with their foam lady bug pages. They turned out great

One morning I decided to make some Lady bug pancakes. I should have used a squirter to get the dots just right but they turned out alright for my first time.

Violet and Tanner thought they were fun. And Tanner loves Pancakes especially colored ones.

For our finale on Lady bug we we bought a bag of Lady bugs from my favorite greenhouse Cooks. I am glad Tanner saw them there it was a great idea. The bag came with 1000 lady bugs and you have to open them at night when the sun goes down so they stay in the yard but I had to get the kids to bed so we did it about 7 pm. It was so much fun.
