Last night my daughters dressed up in princess costumes and began making up dances. Tanner joined in and began dancing with Amanda, saying "Princess and Prince dancing!" At one point Amanda fell to the ground and pretended to be asleep. Tanner got down by her side and kissed her, saying "Sleeping Beauty!" When she "awoke" he took her hands and helped her up to continue dancing!
Amanda came to get me to show me this and Tanner was willing to do it again for me. Amanda was too warm in the dress, though, and had taken it off. She had put it on over her clothes. Before Tanner would dance with her though he disappeared upstairs and returned with her dress clearly insisting that she must put it on before they danced by holding it out to her and saying "Princess!"
It is so fun watching him play pretend and interact with his sisters. It gives me hope that some day he will play games with other kids, have friends! And I love that Amanda is so excited by Tanner's efforts, too. I could see how proud she was of him and how much she adores him. It gives me so much hope for his future knowing that she and Emily will be there for him even after I'm gone.
