Little Miss Teya has hit the boy crazy stage, which has been somewhat horrifying to Taber. Every time she talks about her "prince" (a little boy from preschool) or getting married (her new favorite topic) He gets visibly stressed out and looks like he's going to have an anxiety attack. He has told her in no uncertain terms that she cannot get married for a long LONG time.
Well last night the marriage topic came up again and we were pleasantly surprised with what she said. Here's how the conversation went:
Teya: Daddy, when I'm as big as you, THEN can I get married?
Taber: Well MAYBE, but only if he's nice
Teya: Don't worry, I'll bring him over and you can ask him questions.
Taber: Oh? Like what kinds of questions?
Teya: You know, like if he's nice to me...
Taber: That's a good one. What else?
Teya: And if he loves Heavenly Father and Jesus.
Taber: Wow, that's a good question too. What else?
Teya: You know, like all the important things. Like all the things you do for Mommy.
I was just beaming after I heard her say that and I rushed to write it down so when she actually IS dating and looking for Mr. Right I can pull it out and remind her that:
1) She was willing to have her father interview her potential suitors and grill them with important questions
2) Even at 4 years old she was wise enough to know that a man should be nice to her, love Heavenly Father and Jesus, and treat her how her Daddy treats her Mommy. (And granted, Taber has set the bar pretty high on that one but I'm glad she knows how a good husband should treat his wife.)
So even though like Taber said, we don't want to even think about her dating for a long long time, it's nice to know she is a wise little girl who knows exactly what she's looking for.

She is so adorable and SO smart! I'm glad you rushed to write that down. It was a priceless conversation!
Oh my goodness, she is one smart girl! Somebody must be teaching her right. :)
I love this! I'm so glad you wrote it down - this will be awesome to show her later. I agree with Tara - you are teaching her right!
I totally let out a big "Aaawww" as I was reading this! Was a sweet , smart girl that Teya is.
I can't believe she is obsessed with dating already. wowzers. And Teya is so stinkin cute. I have watched that christmas morning video a bunch of times. She is so energetic and funny. I bet you guys have a great time.
That litle girl is SOOOO beautiful. I have a feeling you are going to have to remind her of this a LOT because you guys are definitely going to have lots of fellas chasing after her! I love this post It is so sweet!
Sounds like our house.
When I went to pick Anna up from preschool yesterday, she was chasing a little boy to give him a goodbye hug (that boy is her "boyfriend").
Love it! At least she didn't tell you guys that she was ready to be a grown up and that you will be a grandma soon...YIKES!
That is ADORABLE. Looks like you are teaching her well :)
This is the blog post I imagine every woman wants to be able to write about her daughter and her husband.
I love it! I can't believe that at a whopping 4 yrs old she hit all if not most of the major points for looking for a husband. I especially love how she mentioned that future husband should treat her like how her daddy treats her mommy. So precious!
That is so cute! i have goose bumps after reading that. She is adorable and that will definitely be hilarious to read when she is dating/getting married.
How sweet! I love that Taber is so stressed out. Well, you know what I mean :)
Love it! :)
She'll have Taber wrapped around her little finger by the time she's dating age :)
WOW!! Teya is like a 20 year old trapped in a little princess body! And Hi-five for you guys doing an awesome job as her parents!!
ps picturing Taber's face all worried had me laughing out loud!
I can't even imagine the stress...I don't want to think about it. Taber u r the man, good luck with those two lil beauties. But I don't think a parent could have a better complement than what Teya gave you guys. U guys r great.
precious
