more bragging...


I know, I know, I brag about my 7 year old a little too much, but sometimes he really is the glue that keeps us together. So...I am sharing another story about my sweet Tanner.

Logan started soccer this year and although he loves it, he plays very cautiously because his implants constantly fall off. A few times, they have stopped the entire game to call me over and help him place them back on--which has embarrassed him a bit. My husband thought that maybe a head band would help keep the magnet on (the circle part that attaches to his head).
After a trip to the sports store with Dad, the boys came home like this...

I asked why Jake bought all three boys a headband and he told me that they all wanted one. But later that night after Tanner's game, I asked Tanner if he liked playing with the headband on. He told me, "No, it kind of itches and I look a little stupid because no one else on my team wears one. But when we were at the store, Logan didn't want to wear a headband, so I thought if I wore one, he'd want to too and not feel so weird about it." Me--(sniff, sniff). And it worked, Logan now thinks its cool and can't wait to wear it during his next game.

i love this kid!

Tanner is such a great kid. It reminds me of how he used to teach me a few signs to use with Logan when we babysat one time. He is the best big brother and such a role model for all kids! Love the pictures of the kids. They are adorable!!

Sometimes the oldest can be such a terd (picking on, or beating up) but then they do cute little things like that. I love it! Good job Tanner!

That got me crying!! How sweet - not only to try to make Logan think it was cool, but to actually wear it along with him! That is truly brotherly love. Way to go Tanner.
