Oh how I love this kid. As I said last year, he’s a happy kid who plays hard, tries hard, and loves hard. He’s growing up so fast and turning into his own little person. He still tries to be just like Maxwell (often to Maxwell’s chagrin) but also relishes his role as big brother to Samantha. Sure, he can give her a good brotherly knockout now and then but, more often, he’s the sweetest to her trying to help her do something, keep her safe, and play games together. He and Maxwell are the best of friends and then mortal enemies that will try to fight to the death. Ha! Seriously, they fight plenty but also stick up for each other, play well together, and enjoy each other.

We just had Spencer’s teacher conference this week and he got a glowing report. His right on track with his reading, doing great in math, and she said his handwriting and artistic abilities are very impressive! He’s a smart kid and he loves learning. He’s very motivated right now to do well ins school, read at home before bed, and see what all he can do.

He’s majorly into Jurassic World and dinosaurs right now. Both boys still love Alvin and the Chipmunks and this show called Big City Greens. Nerf guns are are still tops along with anything “remote controlled” He’s probably happiest with some kind of ball in his hand – well, that or the iPad! ha! This kid LOVES his tv and iPad. I think his favorite game right now is War Robots and he’s just waiting for the day that he can get Fortnite like Maxwell. He killed it at baseball this fall and is loving flag football.

The other thing about him? He loves to sleep…and sleep some more! We have to wake him up for school just about every day. He also loves to dance and be silly! Flossing every day!

He might be six but his little speech impediment keeps him sounding like my baby just a bit. He’s gotten better with his L sounds but that Th sound is tricky. One, two, free, four! 🙂  Also, in case you were wondering, he still has the greatest laugh around!
