Good day! Spencer had some trouble letting Daddy do things for him in the evening. Told me he was hungry, but wouldn't go to Daddy for a snack. Ignoring daddy, things like that. I told Mike that he doesn't do it with me anymore, so it's just that he's learned what is acceptable with each of us. He did do the sign for more spontaneously!! Go Little Man!! When Mike came out of the bathroom with Spencer andthey usually say "hi", Spencer said bye, which I usually try to get him to say. I said, Hi, and he looked really confused. It just occurred to me that I usually try to get him to say bye, so this time he did and I told him to say something else. Idiot mommy! He said bye-bye to the Little Einsteins again today. I think he's got it. Oh and he was "aw-da" instead of signing all done. I said, "can you say 'all done' and he did!

RaRa was great too! Mike was in good spirits, even though he was stressed and tired, but that's the rule for him.

I've decided to try the front room as a play room. The toys are strewn throughout the house anyway. His room is out of space, and with the toy kitchen coming it's just taking over. We always said that wouldn't happen. Also, when Spencer moves to a toddler bed (whenever that happens) he'll need his room to be more for sleeping than playing. So I moved the furniture into the foyer. I don't have the gates so I'll have to wait till next week when my mom comes to really do anything. Otherwise the dogs will tear up all the toys within minutes of us being out the door.

We're watching Super Troopers now. I think this is the funniest movie ever!!
