Some funny things Spencer has said/done lately...
Yesterday in preschool he told his class he had a grandpa named "Grampa Richard," and that "Grampa Richard scuba dibes. That's when you dibe with the scubas."

This morning Spencer woke up and he had totally wet the bed. It happens. (Even though he's totally potty trained, even at night.) I told him, "It's okay, we'll just wash your sheets and shower you off." To which he responded by totally breaking down in tears. I think he was terribly embarrassed about it because he kept denying that he peed his pants, "I go potty in the toilet Mom!" Poor kid.

Spencer does not like to eat meat, but I try to get it down him every now and then. Last year my parents had a cow raised and butchered from their ranch in New Mexico and they gave quite a bit of it to us. One tactic that usually gets a few bites of beef down Spencer is to tell him that he's eating "Grandpa's special beef cow." And of course, whenever he sees meat on his plate, he never fails to ask, "Is it Grandpa's special beef cow?" If it is, he'll eat a couple bites of it. If it's something like chicken or pork or fish, I have a much lower success rate. I think Grandpa should start raising chickens. :)

Spencer's latest favorite thing to do is play on the computer. (Usually I just pull up Playhouse Disney and let him play for 20 minutes.) Last week he figured out how to watch little episodes of his favorite shows on the site. I'm pretty strict about tv time and rarely let him watch it in the mornings, so once he figured this out, he shut himself in the playroom and turned the volume down really low so I wouldn't come check on him. Little does he know that silence spells trouble to Mommy! And he thought he had it all figured out...

Tonight we were reading scriptures and talking about how Laman and Lemuel did not listen and obey (a huge thing in our house right now). So I was telling the kids that they were naughty and didn't listen to Heavenly Father or their father Lehi and Spencer goes, "And they were naughty because they were only eating junk food and not healthy food." I just smiled and said, "Uh huh."

What a cute little man.
We always had to tell Miranda that the beef we were eating was chicken. Didn't matter what it was, we always had to tell her it was chicken so she would eat it. So I feel ya on that one.
Perhaps they will let Grandpa Bill rqaise chickens in Park City? My brother, Kurt, is raising chickens at his place in Los Osos and supposedly the eggs are fantastic.
I sure miss all of you.
You have to let him try starfall.com , best kids website ever (at least from a mother's point of view)
