my little buddy

I LOVE this little boy. He means everything to me. We've been such good buddies for the past six years. I have loved being his mommy and watching him develop his personality and blossom into a fun little boy. He is amazingly talented. Not so much in athletics...we're working on that...but his imagination and artistic skills are so unique. If he chooses too, and works hard, I think this boy can achieve anything. I love this phase of life with him. I am having a blast waiting for him when he steps off the bus, waiting to see his brilliant smile and give him a big welcome home hug. I love going through his backpack and seeing what they did for the day and love getting the occasional notes from his teacher that he is doing great, or is a kind kiddo! I love helping put together projects with him and helping him on his reading and homework. I am not looking forward to homework as he gets older, but for now I totally love it!! Tanner loves school but he still has complaints at times, and it's because he misses me. I can't blame him. He's been my buddy for 6 years, so to leave all day is hard on him (and me). Tonight this is what he said to me: "I wish you could be my teacher. Then you could work there. Then I could see you every day. That would be nice. That would be so fun!!" He is so sweet. He has the most tender heart. He just wants me to cuddle with him and lay by him every night. He always gives hugs and kisses. He is such an angel and I'm so proud of him. LOVE LOVE LOVE that boy!! I'm such a lucky mama!!
