Spencer Turns 5







Happy Birthday to Spencer! This year has been one of growth, both physical and mental. Spencer loves to write us notes and knows all the letters of the alphabet although being self taught, his teacher may want to work on his technique when he starts kindergarden next year. Chapter books are what Spencer requests now at bedtime. Recent stories have included The Trumpet of the Swan and Pippi Longstocking. Another passion is fastening his toys together to create new items that he imagines are cameras, etc.

We thought that given his boundless imagination, we would take him to Disneyland for his birthday this year instead of having a party. In the meantime, we treated Spencer to lunch and a sundae at Ruby's, a 50s style diner with delicious hamburgers. Spencer wanted pizza and beef and broccoli for his birthday dinner, an unusual combination perhaps but his current favorite foods. We look forward to seeing what the year ahead holds for Spencer!
