Tatum is starting to experience the challenges that stem from the opposite sex; All good challenges, but still, new and hard to navigate.
First, she has a first crush, which, rarely, is reciprocal. Noah from her grade adores her, and they like to talk often on the phone.
But, here is the challenge! Just last night the doorbell rang. It was 7-year old Beckham from down the street. He handed her an envelope and then ran away. She told him to wait while she handed him a Focus on the Family magazine. (She wants him to believe in Jesus)
Here was the note:
Oh, dear! Two boys. How did this happen? More of this to come, I’m sure of it. EEK! Lord, help us.
Now, in terms of friends, she has another dear friend she has known since Pre-K (Paradise for Tots) days. Little Carley (now big Carley!). This sweet girl has always had Tatum’s back and would fight for her. She is a lovely friend. Just this weekend, she came over for a play date and she thanked me multiple times for everything. Very polite!
Here they are from Kinder!
I’m so grateful for friends. She is learning what it means to be a real friend, and what to value in a friend. She must be what she wants to attract.
