Mums The Word...

We have hit a new phase. I guess I knew it would come but it seems to have caught me a little off guard. Spencer has hit that phase where he says whatever he sees to be true... without hesitation... regardless of what it is. For example, today when I dropped Nate off at the Doctor to get his blood checked (to make sure the blood thinners are working), there was a really large lady coming out of the building. She was struggling to walk and Spencer asked me why that lady couldn't walk very good. I told him she was using a walker to help her so she could walk better. And Spencer said, "Is that cause she's SO fat!" Ugh... THANK HEAVENS she didn't hear him!! What would I have said to her if she had heard him!!!? I promptly told Spencer that we don't EVER tell people they are fat, because that is so rude and it could hurt someone's feelings.

And the other day, a nicely dressed deacon in our ward came to pick up our fast offering. He was SO nice and respectful. He did have longer hair... and as I was filling out the fast offering slip, Spencer said, "What does that girl at the door want?" I just ignored him, hoping that the nice young man didn't catch on...

And today at the store, Spencer and Preston saw a baby in his car seat and they were so excited. They were watching him as his mom carried him around and they said, "Mom! Look a baby!" And I said, "Oh yeah!" And Spencer said, "He's a dark brown baby!" I was so embarrassed I just said, "Oh yeah.....:)"

He is constantly saying things like, "Look at that guy!" Right in front of them. And I know he's looking at them because they look a little different... but I try to just hurry Spencer along before he says what I know he's thinking. This is killing me! How am I supposed to take him in public when I never know what he is going to say? I love that he is so honest, and observant... but he is going to get me into trouble! This has all happened in the last three days, what are the next three years going to be like!!!
