Spencer is 4 (and a half)!

Monday, August 04, 2008

Ok, I am officially the worst mother ever. My baby turned 4 and I didn't even post anything for him. Now, he's on the other side of 4 1/2 headed to 5. I will never feel right about myself if I don't post something so here goes:


Spencer,

You are growing up so fast. This year you started preschool, you made new friends, you started (and then quit) karate, you started gymnastics (which you love and are quite good at), you said goodbye to sissy while she went off to kindergarten, you were my helper, my errand buddy, my carloop assistant. You are hillariously funny, we can't wait to see what you're going to say next. You are kind and gentle, you love to give names to all of your stuffed animals and you worry about them when they are not around. If you leave one in the car, you will go out and get it at bedtime so it will not be scared. You can hang with the girls, but you also relish anytime there is a boy around, then you can play pirates and bad guys and cars and all things boy.

This song pretty much sums up how I feel about you (and it's also one of your favorite songs at the moment):

My Heart (does a little dance)
Joanie Bartels

My heart does a little dance,
Every time I see you.
My heart does a little dance,
Every time I'm near you.

When you walk into the room,
I can hear my heart go boom boom boom.
Just a smile on your sweet face,
I can feel my heart begin to race.

My heart does a little dance,
Every time I see you.
My heart does a little dance,
Every time I'm near you.
My heart does a little dance,
Every time I see you.
My heart does a little dance,
Every time I'm near you.

Love's the name of this happy sound,
When my heart begins to pound.
Like a drum with that strong back beat,
I can feel it all the way to my feet.

My heart does a little dance,
Every time I see you.
My heart does a little dance,
Every time I'm near you.

My heart does a little dance,
Every time I see you.
My heart does a little dance,
Every time I'm near you.

I've never felt this way,
Standing here outside your door.
Trying to find the words to say,
You're the one my heart beats for.

My heart...does a little dance
My heart...does a little dance

Happy Birthday Spencer!
