Ode to Tony.

This is Emma and her "boyfriend" Tony. (isn't he cute?) You must know that her definition of boyfriend is really the equivalent of Best Buddy. They have been in class together for the last two years. All year long she has been telling me that Tony is her boyfriend "He loves me." she says or "I love him" She was especially excited on valentines day to pull out the valentine from Tony and show me which one it was. "He gave me a pencil!" she said. Every time she sees Lightning McQueen or anything to do with Disney's Cars, she says "Hey! That's Tony's favorite." For Preschool graduation, Tony drew a pretty picture for Emma and gave it to her. Tony and Peyton (another little girl in their class) sometimes fight over which one gets to sit by Emma or play with her. They like to play together. They are good little buddies. Unfortunately, Tony still has another year of preschool, while Emma is moving up to Kindergarten. Even though they'll still see each other at school, they won't be in the same class together and I know she'll miss her friend. Thanks Tony for being such a good buddy.
