Spencer turned 5 on Sunday, April 2. He was sooo excited about his new dog. Spencer was up at 5 am wanting to take Diego outside to potty. Luck for us, Spencer went back to sleep for a little while. After breakfast, we decided to give him his birthday present....his bike. I had a hard time emotionally with this gift, but it was what he wanted. He tried a few times to ride, but most of all he just wanted to make black marks in the sand. Thanks to Grandaddy's trailer in his backyard, Spencer got a nice bruise on his crotch. After that, he didn't want to ride. We spent the rest of the afternoon outside playing until 8:20. Then he had a nice bath in our BIG tub {as he calls it}.
We did some of our routine birthday stuff. We sang happy birthday and he blew out his candles. He said that he was 5, but he felt like he was 8. Before bed, we always sit down and talk about what we like the most about whoever's birthday it is. So Tim and I told Spencer what we like about him. He laughed and thought the things we were saying was funny. We gave him a special card from us and one from Sullivan....this was a pretty emotional thing for us, because I had written Spencer a special message from Sullivan.
Sometimes we think that we are doing well emotionally, and then we celebrate a birthday or a special day and it is tough for us. We will continue to pray diligently and we ask each of you to keep us in your prayers.
Tim promised me if I took his picture that he would shave his beard, so here it is....your last chance to see Tim's beard. We shaved it off a few hours after this picture was taken.
