Tanner turns 3 on Friday, so in preparation for that momentous event the Night-Night fairy visited our house on Saturday night. The "Night Night Fairy" (for those of you not in the know) is the mythical creature that comes to childrens houses and takes their binkies (presumably to give to little babies that need them) and leaves a present in their place. Tanner was a champ. He left his binkies in a little pile on the stair railing and was a bit shocked I think to find that the Fairy did indeed take them and leave in their place a firetruck with Dora and Diego riding inside (just what he asked for... that Night Night Fairy knows ALL!). He hasn't looked back since. He proudly proclaims each morning, "NO more night night face, Mom!" ("Night Night Face" being the icky goo that tends to collect on the upper lip of the addicted).He has good days and bad days. And just like the poem my grandpa used to quote, "When he is good he is very very good, but when he is bad he is horrid"! He is very low-key about his upcoming birthday. When asked what he wants he says, "I don't care. Whatever you want, Mama". He doesn't really have an opinion what what kind of cake he wants or if there is a character on it or not. He did not want a party but told us that he just wanted "to have dinner at the Merc with mommy, daddy, Faith, Jake, and Nana". He's such a funny boy. It is hard to believe he is the same age Jake was when we decided to move here. They are so different.
