We just received an baby announcement from Spencer and Michaela's Nanny/Friend, Amy Rowbotham that she has had a little boy. We lost contact with her when she got married a little over a year ago but she was such a great influence on our family in the early years. She loved my children and cared for them so well it mitigated the guilt a working mother sometimes has. Besides which they never looked more put together. Knowing she now has a boy caused me to reflect on my own Spence. I have often said, no man in this life loves you like your little boy. Spencer and I have had a close and loving connection all of his life. He is a bit of a mama's boy and we used to joke that if there was a way back into the womb, Spencer would opt in. Spence has so many great and gentle qualities. He is always pleasant and mostly compliant when asked to do something. He is very loving with younger children. When Kailey Jo visited Spencer would push her around the house in circles to keep her occupied. He is a wonderfully accepting child of others. I have never heard or seen him be unkind to other children and there are a couple of girls in his fourth grade class that seem to like his style. Spence excels at math and many things come easily to him. He loves GameBoy but doesn't care for GameCube as much. He prefers being indoors to outside. Spence loves to make things. He formed this funny little Minnie Me club at school. The main point seems to be pulling your t-shirt over your knees and walking around. That night he came home and made membership cards for the club members. He is quirky, loving and fun and I feel blessed to be his mom.
Enought for now...love to all.
