Happy New Year!

Spencer enjoyed celebrating Chinese New Year which was last Saturday. Although he refused to wear his Frankenstein t-shirt for five minutes just for a picture earlier in the day (in an attempt to recreate Halloween), he reluctantly agreed to put on traditional Chinese dress for a few photos. His smile indicates his increasing ability to be charming to get his way. The bottom photo expresses how he really feels about wearing something other than a t-shirt with Thomas & Friends. He recently refused to wear a black and red sweater vest to church because "it's too cute." He doesn't like to be thought of as cute, handsome or sweet. However, he does like to be reminded that he is precious!

Merry Christmas!

 

Ho, ho ho! Spencer had a great Christmas! His favorite present was a replica of the Polynesian Resort for his Disney monorail. Apparently the hotel is no longer generally available, but somehow Santa was able to find it! Spencer also received an iPod Touch in early December although he didn't have to wait to use it. He received three new Thomas & Friends Take 'N Play engines, too. Plus he can say the names of all 70 of the engines on the "map" that comes with them. He can write his first name and also his sisters' names. His favorite song at the moment is "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson. (I apologize that this was in "draft" mode for the last six weeks -- I just realized the error. More photos coming soon!)
