Our indescribeable precious bundle of joy

Scott and I have really enjoyed spending every minute with Spencer. He is an amazing child. By observing and interacting with him, we have learned more from him than what we are teaching him. He has taught his mommy the importance of being patient and calm in stressful situations. Eight years of hands-on crisis interventions and trainings, and facilitating parenting classes have left me clueless when my child is crying and screaming in the middle of the night. Now, I can really empathize with those parents. What happened to setting limits, establishing routines and schedules, and being in control? It all went out the window. Spencer is winning the war. With his beautiful smile and facial and body gestures, he makes us laugh constantly that his daddy and I forget about our sleep deprivation and migraine headaches. His pouting lip and stretching arms leave a lingering memory of him on his aunties' and grandparents' minds that they want to visit him frequently. We are so attached and in love with him that our home becomes a fun and entertaining venue.
