Spencer and Monkey

Spencer received a super soft stuffed animal Monkey from Santa at Christmas (Santa knew that Jellycat stuffed animals are the best). (In true MacFarlane style, the stuffed animal is called "Monkey" kind of like Jack's Lovey is called, well, "Lovey".) At first Monkey was mainly used for teething. He took it in stride even though one of his front arms is much crunchier than the other. Now Spencer shows him a bit more love - talking to him as he goes to sleep and as he wakes, swinging him from side to side as he goes to sleep, and still using him for teething though now focused on Monkey's nose.

In the last week, Spencer has taught Monkey a new trick: flying. Spencer picks him up and bravely sends him soaring like an eagle...and out of the crib. Unfortunately, Monkey hasn't learned how to jump back into the crib. Silly Monkey, don't you know that this makes Spencer very sad? Justin or I end up rescuing Monkey and calming Spencer. Perhaps Spencer has taught us a new trick...
Monkey kind of resembles Spence

School Projects

Jack has a school project due this Friday. The project is to visit a specific historic landmark in the city and then put together a write-up about the visit and place. Jack's location is Hamilton Grange which was the country home of Alexander Hamilton. We visited a few weeks ago (yep, we've have the assignment this long). Finally, Jack started putting together the project today. OMG, it was like watching me from 30 years ago. There was denial and defensiveness, then came tears and finally he produced really good work. If this is what the next 15 years are going to be like, we are in trouble. Also - sorry Mom, I know I tortured you with this experience many many times.
