The Whatcott Family: Spotlight--Spencer Boy

This kid has been such a joy! He wakes up happy, and spends the whole day running around and playing and laughing and hugging and talking and... He is truly an example of someone who has a pure love of life and those around him. We found out yesterday that he will need surgery on his "little ear." We have been so frustrated trying to figure out how to help him with his ears and speech and all and have been to so many people. An ENT finally realized yesterday that he is missing a bone in his ear that is causing him to have a 40% hearing loss in that ear. Spencer will go in once a year until he is old enough for the surgery (probably when he is 5 or 6). Ironically enough, Cameron had the same surgery when he was a little guy. Way to go Cameron, it's all your fault! Anyway, I love my boy! He is so much fun. Here's my top ten for Spencer:
10) I love that Spence always wants to hug baby Emilie!

9) I love that when Spence smiles, his eyes disappear and his teeth all show.

8) I love that when Cameron puts him to bed at night, he crawls out of bed and says he wants mommy to come hug him, and if I put him to bed, he does the same thing but asks for daddy. He is our little night wanderer. We find him in some interesting places in the morning, but whenever he gets tired enough, he puts himself to sleep with Mr. Elephant.

7) I love that Spencer loves to go to work with Cameron, but not as much as Cameron does. When Spencer sees Cameron during the day, he grabs his legs and insists on going to work with Cameron. Cameron often times gives in and next thing I know, Spencer is driving a back-hoe with is dad.

6) I love that Spencer is such a great eater, this kid will literally eat just about anything... except, funny enough, he's not really into icecream (I know, weird for a kid).
