Pigeon, Elephant, & Piggie

Spencer is a big Mo Willems fan. He loves the Pigeon books. And he loves the Elephant & Piggie books. They make him smile and laugh. Most of all, they make him proud because he can read them to us.

New York Historical Society currently has a great exhibit on Mo Willems. We finally checked it out this afternoon. It was Mo Willems heaven and Spencer loved it.

He intently listened to the audio info at all of the bus stops in the exhibit (Mo Willems narrates!), longingly perused the Moseum gift shop (see what they did there?), and read several books. It was so fun to see him loving it all.

Spencer Time

A few recent pictures of Spencer. He is growing like crazy and picking up all sorts of new skills like grabbing toys on the playmat, grabbing blankets or clothes and shoving them in his mouth, and his new favorite pastime, putting his feet in his mouth (with or without socks!).

Called up

Growing up

Jack and Spence "graduated" from their respective preschool programs in the last couple of weeks. While the road along the way wasn't always the smoothest, the outcome couldn't be better. At Spencer's 2s club event, the kids demonstrated all the new skills they had learned in the gym. Lots of forward rolls, big jumps on the trampoline, and amazing core strength. The kids then enjoyed their favorite book of the year: mean soup. Afterward each child received an award. Spencer followed Jack's footsteps on this part by refusing to go up to accept the award. Regardless, we were so proud of Spence. He loved having his independence, being involved in a class, making new friends, and just having fun. Next year Spence starts preschool at the Y. Jack's tender care graduation was last friday. The event was held in the Little Theater at the Y. Jack was so excited to be on the stage. The class sang several songs ending with what has to be the anthem of kids 3...
