Hair gel?...No

     I know we're not very good about posting things here and we've got quite the backlog of pictures and stuff. I'm trying not to worry about getting things in order and just get some things posted, or nothing is ever going to get done. Anyway, here's a cute video from a few days ago. Some days, the hardest part of being a parent is not laughing...

Kids Say the Darndest Things

I've been keeping a journal for Spencer and the following is the entry I wrote for tonight. I thought it would be easy to just cut and paste instead of re-writing the whole thing again.

Dear Spencer,

Yes. I am going to write more about some of the cute things you say. Yesterday I was folding laundry telling you about people we know who are going to have babies. As I sometimes do I started to talk to you about having a baby come live with us. You said you wanted one and so I said we need to wait until Heavenly Father sends us one. You then said you wanted to ask Jesus for one. A little while later you said you wanted to talk to Jesus on the phone.

Today before your nap you wanted me to read you the children’s book we have about Joseph in Egypt. When we got to the picture of Joseph sitting in jail you asked why he was on time out. I explained to you in the best way I knew how by saying, “Potifer’s wife accused Joseph of trying to kiss her.” After we were done with the book you took it and started to “read it” yourself. I sat back and listened to you and this is what I heard:

“Why did Joseph get a time out? He tried to kiss him (I don’t think you quite know the difference between him and her).”

Turns the page, “Why did Joseph get a time out? He tried to kiss him.”

Turns the page, “Why did Joseph get a time out? He tried to kiss Joseph.”

Turns the page, “Why did Joseph get a time out? He tried to kiss Pharoh.”

I guess we still need to work on this story.

Church Water

Spencer says some of the cutest things. Today in Sacrament meeting he looked up from drinking out of his sippy cup and said, "I want church water". He was refering to water out of the church's drinking fountain. We've been trying to get him to be quiet during Sacrament meeting and today he did really well for most of it.

Today his nursurey teachers where doing a slide show on the creation and they said he was naming a lot of the animals.
