Spencer just loves the camera!
I am so lucky to have Spencer. He is a great balance to Rachel and he is at such a fun age. I love to see the wheels turn in his head as he starts to comprehend bigger concepts. He can't get enough of reading and has been memorizing many of the books we read.
It always surpises me what their little minds pick up on. Sometimes he says things that I have no idea where they come from. For instance, this past week we were expecting Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Kathryn to join us for dinner, but to a 4 year old they were taking forever to get here. After complaining that they were never going to make it, he sat looking out the window. When I asked him a question he said: "I am just watching the world go by."
I love being a MOM!
With Spencer there are things you hear you never expected to hear and there are things you say that you never, in you wildest dreams of parenting, expected to say. Spencer enjoys a consistant routine which consists of waking up at seven zero zero. Which I have to admit is not my favorite part ofthe routine, I do much better after 7:30am. Well, much to my surprise yesterday he slept in until 8:15! My first thought was, YEAH, but that was short lived. For the next hour or more he had a tantrum concerning the fact that we wouldn't turn the clock to 7:00am. He needed to wake up at 7, and that was that! Although we were tempted at times throughout this tantrum to change just one clock to settle him down, it would have made the many morning to follow such a nightmare it woldn't have been worth the moments we saved that morning. So we went on to explain that if we changed the clocks we would be late to do things like play with friends. And even if you change one clock you can't change all of the clocks. Some clocks even get time through a satelite in space and we can't change them. Nothing seemed to help, he just wanted it to be 7:00 when he wakes up. I never thought I would have to say: "No, we can not change the clock back to seven zero zero, and I am not changing my mind!"
