Spencer and Monkey

By
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

This weekend, the t-ball team was short a few players. Spencer was called up from the practice team to fill in. He was one of the smallest on the field, but played well, even teaming up with Jack for an out!

Mother's Day weekend, we planned a little trip out of NYC. We headed to Lancaster, PA - close enough for a night away, but far enough away to feel very different than NYC. The weekend was a lot of fun (and honestly a lot of work). All in all, the boys did well. Highlights below: Dutch Wonderland Lancaster is home to several tourist things. We picked one: Dutch Wonderland family amusement park. My cynical self really doubted that we'd enjoy this experience. I was worried that it would be cheesy. But I was wrong. Well yes, it was kind of cheesy because it was a family amusement park. But it was so fun. The place was very geared to families with young children. The rides are categorized by height so it's easy to know what rides your kids can ride. Jack tried several rides: big trucks, bulldozers, leaping frogs, the monorail. He even drove a car! He had a really good time. Spence was a good sport as there wasn't much for him to do. Maybe next year. Justin felt right ...
