Wordy Wednesday

Me: Spencer if you have to touch that please remember to just touch with one finger.
Spencer: "But Mama, three fingers just keep coming up."

Spencer: "I don't like the sun in my eyes. It really makes my smile droopy."

P A R T Y ! ! ! ! !

Saturday we had Spencer's birthday party with all his friends. We had planned to be outside but the 48 degree weather kept us indoors. Thank goodness for basements! We had a great time even if it meant being in doors with lots of kids yelling and running under our feet.

We played games. Go Fish was a hit and got moved all around the house.

I think the kids enjoyed climbing in and out of the box more than tossing balls in. Hey, as long as they were having fun! The poor box had to be retired after the party.

We ate cake.
Some didn't mind the chilly weather.

Happy Party Day Spencer!!! We love you!

"Mama I am THREE today!!!" Spencer announces as he gets out of bed waving his hand with three fingers in the air.One day he's gonna kill me for not putting his PJ shorts on him before we started taking photos!

We began the day with presents of course!! Spencer got to open them before Jake went to work so he could enjoy them all day.
"I LOVE IT!"

"Mama I'm a really good biker."

He is actually really good at it. He had no problem going from his trike to his bike.


A very nosey jack hammer from Campbell.


A very loved Handy Manny from Bevie.

Spen sporting his b-day ribbon!! We spent the day at the Denver Aquarium with our friends Rachel and Brandon. It was a fun day, but a sad day for my camera that decided to die!! I'm very annoyed that of all days this day!?!?!

We enjoyed a pizza and cake party with the family tonight. Spencer requested a cake with hearts so a cake with hearts is what he got! I bought a cheap little disposable camera so one day I'll be able to add more b-day pics to show off his cake and him riding his bike outside. He was so grateful for his gifts, his fun day and very excited about his party coming up on Saturday. He kept saying, "Thank you mama, thank you Daddy for getting me this bike." "I love this Cake Mama." "You are driving so good mama." Okay that last one is him just being a kiss up!!

We LOVE you Spencer!!
You keep me laughing and or sighing with headaches. You love making up songs and talking talking talking. You always have something to say or to add to a conversation. You often add to conversations that your Daddy and I didn't know you were apart of! You are very particular and want it like you want it. If it's not like you want it you need an explanation for why in the world you should except it another way. Cause you know, you wanted it like you wanted it. But with the explanation you'll except it. When you are happy you are oh so happy and when you are sad/mad you are m-a-d! You love to argue your way to let me know why you need 100+ beverages a day or other various things. You think you are truly grown. I've often had people tell me you are an old soul so maybe you know something I don't. You are very perceptive. You love to learn and learn things fast. I love your big brown eyes, pen prick dimple and thick hair. Even as crazy as that hair is with its unruly double crown. I look forward to watching you grow into the sweet caring smart creative boy I know your going to be.

PRESCHOOL

Today was Spencer's first day of Preschool. He has been anticipating this day for quite sometime. He was so excited when he woke up. He kept clapping yelling, "I am SO EXCITED!"

It went as well as I could have ever hoped for. A lady lead us to Ms. Brenda and Ms. Emily's class while telling me not to worry if he cries. We got to the door and he trotted his cute little self right in the middle of the room still wearing his back pack. The lady looked at me and said, "Wow." I wasn't surprised. I knew he wouldn't cry. He was excited. However, we've come a long way from our days in VA when he would scream in the church or gym nursery, "Go get my Mama. Go get my Mama NOW!!!" Those ladies always came and got me saying they had tried it all but that he wanted ME. NOW. Thankfully we have jumped that hurdle.

I was better emotionally than I thought I would be. I know, no big deal its just two days a week for three hours, but it's my baby growing up! I got a little knot in my throat when I picked him up. Seeing him sit there in circle time. I was so proud of how great he did and what a great boy he is growing up to be.

Spencer comments after the first day...

Very first thing he says to me, "Mama I DID get to eat there!"

I have been telling him that he'll come home right before lunch to eat with me and Campbell and then take a nap. He keeps telling me that he wants to eat lunch there and stay a long long long time.

Other comments were about a big girl who cried, the roller he played with in the sand, cutting and choosing the green apple for me, the book about the doggies, getting to play with a huge farm and a girl who had a pull up shirt. I HAVE no clue what the "pull up" shirt is. He told me it had a string and flowers. I am so curious??? I love that he talks up a blue streak cause I get to hear all about those three hours!

Here's too every day at school going as well as the first!

After we picked up Spencer and pulled up in our driveway Campbell turns to Spencer then turns to me and let out a loud "AAAAHHHHH" with a huge grin on his face! Little brother was glad to have his big brother back!
