Spencer funny

Spencer continually cracks us up!

The other day after we picked Daniel up from school we stopped at the store to pick up some milk, etc. As we walked down the chip aisle (getting pretzels) Spencer asked for Cheetos. We told him, "Not today." He says to Daniel, who is holding his hand, "But Dad, I need them!"

Daniel has been trying to teach the concept of money to Spencer, so he said, "We need money to buy chips, do you have money for the chips?" Spencer quickly said, "Yes!"

Daniel surprised said, "You do, where?"

Spencer, "In your pocket!"

I want to give you a love

We had a very interesting experience with Spencer last week. Last saturday Daniel had gotten up with Jared, the first to wake up, to let me sleep in. While downstairs with Jared he heard Spencer calling out, sounding upset. Daniel headed up the stairs and heard Spencer urgently calling, "Grandma come back, I want to give you a love!" We call hugs and kisses "loves."

Daniel opened the door and found Spencer sitting up in his bed. He asked Spencer what was wrong and Spencer said, “I need Grandma come back, I want to give her a love.”

Daniel said, “Did Grandma come see you?”

“Yes”

Daniel said Spencer was very lucid and not groggy at all. Daniel tried to pull a little more information out and asked which grandma it was. Spencer didn’t seem to have the words to describe her so Daniel asked, “Which Grandma, the Grandma in California?

Spencer said, “Yes.”

But Daniel also asked, “Or the Grandma in Utah?” Again he said, “Yes.”

Then Spencer volunteered something to the effect of, “I go on a plane to see her but she not there. But she needs to come back, I want to give her a love!”

We’re still not sure if this was a dream or if Mom was able to come to our little boy but every time I think about it, the sweet peaceful feeling I have tells me that it was her. Of course, my natural reaction was a little jealousy. I miss her terribly, as I know we all do. But I’m grateful to have this reminder that she is still close by, watching over her family.
