Spencer Said part 1:

12/15/12

Steve asked Spencer to do something and he said, “No! You killed my father!”

Steve: “I am your father.”

Spencer: “No you’re not.”

Steve: “Spencer I literally am your father.”

Spencer: “Oh ok.” And then he walked off.

I was in the kitchen cooking and I hear Spencer behind me say “Jesus something’s on your head.”

I turn around and on the table is Steve’s Sunday School  booklet with a picture of Jesus on the front. Spencer had his little 2 inch tall Mickey Mouse figurine standing on his head.

Spencer (pretending to be Jesus and talking in a deep voice): “What?”

S: “Something’s on your head.”

J: “What?”

S: “Jesus, Mickey Mouse is on your head!”

J: “What? Where?”

S: “Right there! Right up there on your head.”

He Giggled…and then he stopped and started doing something else.

Spencer was watching TV and his foot fell asleep. He started crying and said something was wrong with his foot. I asked him if it felt all tingly and he said yes. He wanted me to make it better but I kept telling him I couldn’t make it better he just had to wait for the tingling to stop. I got a tissue to blow my nose, he saw and said “I get a Kleenex and wipe it and make it feel better.” He got a kleenex and sat down and started wiping the bottom of his foot.

S: “I got to wipe all the tingles out….Mommy I give you Kleenex and you wipe it all better?”

M: “Sure I’ll wipe it better. Give it to me.”

S:” Ok. Here mommy. Here’s the Kleenex.”

He gave me the kleenx and he put his foot on my lap and I started wiping.

S: “Awwww. That feel better. This a good idea Mommy?”

M: Smiling to myself “Yes this is a good idea. There you go all done.”

S: “Awww. Ganks Mommy.”

When Spencer watches movies he likes to act out what happens. We were watching Pocahontas and they were singing the song “Savages” In the song they are talking about going to war. So Spencer started acting out. He said “Mommy, let’s go kill them!”  I said, “Ok.” Spencer, “Yes we’re going to kill them- and sing about it.”

3/13/13:

Spencer was in bed when I went to lay Rod down for the night.  When I went to leave I heard Spencer say, “Hi Mommy. Come here.” I went over and I could see he was only partly awake. He got this sleepy smile on his face and he reached up and put his hand on my cheek.  He said “Mommy, you look the same.” Then he held my chin in his hand and said, “Your teeth are beautiful. And you have eyes and a nose. I have a nose too. It has boogers in it.”

He really likes to whisper things to people. So he’ll say in a whisper, “Come here mommy I need to tell you something.” Then when you lean in closer he’ll put his hand by his mouth and say “Ah yah yah yah. Ah yah yah yah….” And then tell you whatever he was going to tell you.  I think in his little kid brain when he sees people whispering he can’t tell what they’re saying and it just sounds like garble. So when he whispers in our ear he starts with garble first before he says what he really wants to say.
