Her Prince



Sarah has always been our little Princess. Which is fitting, because her name means "princess." When I was pregnant with her, I had a very strong feeling that she was a very feminine girl--a very classic kind of feminine. She has a very strong personality, but one thing is for sure, she is very feminine. She would rather wear a dress than anything else. My two other kids (especially Ty) kind of groan and grumble when I announce on Sunday morning that it is time to get ready for church. Not Sarah. She lights up and says "Church?!! Yeah!" She picks her pretty dress and is ready to go. This is not due so much to an affinity for church, although she does love going to Nursery, it is simply because she gets to wear a fancy dress and shoes.

She, of course, loves the Disney Princesses. She pretends to be Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, or Cinderella and Daddy is "her Prince." His character is the only constant. Ty is sometimes the dragon. Ashley and I are sometimes other princesses, but her Daddy is always her Prince. It is the cutest thing. When she calls to him, she says, "Come here, Prince." When we drop him off at work in the morning, she gives him a hug and a kiss and says, "Goodbye, Prince." It is the sweetest thing, it just melts my heart and I love to see the smile it brings to Brent's face every time he hears it. Once I replied, "Are you Snow White?" She responded very matter-of-factly, "No, I'm Sarah Tanner." That's when I realized she wasn't pretending--Brent really is her Prince.
