Tanner Bananer

So what's new with Tanman? Well, his love of the lastest nickname is adorable...he specifically asks me to call him Tanner Bananer :) I stole that nickname from his 4 year old friend Jacob...who I think was trying to tease him. You'll have to give it another shot Jake - Tanner likes this one!

Tanner's latest...let's see:

1. Newly found fear of medicine or being sick...because he doesn't want to go to the doctor and get shots (just had our 5 year old physical last week). Pretty normal...but Alex keeps terrorizing him by wanting to play doctor...such a mean big brother!

2. Newly discovered love of Golden Grahams cereal and ate 1/2 box over the weekend.

3. Growing like a weed...he's sending me to the poor house after buying new clothes and shoes! Check-up puts him at 90th percentile for height, 45th for weight, 20th for BMI. Not sure where these long and lanky genes come from...

4. Continues to evolve into quite the shopper. Drug me around town to 5 different Halloween stores before finally settling on a costume. Begged to be a skeleton...but I made it clear I don't like scary costumes and he offered to wait until he is 7 years old. Deal.

5. Bookworm.

6. Tanner is being mainstreamed into a general education classroom for certain parts of his school day. Yay!

Since Tanner is out of the classroom for some time during the day, does Alex enjoy having the class to himself?

Oddly enough, he hasn't said anything about it. I'm afraid to ask what he thinks, worried that he might tell me he wants to go to Mrs. Klotz's class too...and it would break my heart to tell him that he can't :(

Glad to hear Tanner is doing good. He just starting to grow like a sedd. (smile)
