spencer and his requests...

Spencer got out of bed and brought his pals with him and requested his one and only favorite show. And seeing how he wont talk, his request goes something like this...it starts off with a very annoying, "MOM! MOM!" then points to the TV and says, "Mou?" That means, "Mom, would you be so kind to turn on Mickey Mouse Club House for me pleeeeease?" Or so I would like to think that is what he is saying :)! Then before he will go to bed at night he has to watch it again. There isn't really any requesting going on, it's just understood. After we put Kay and Jake to bed, Spencer grabs him blanky and binky and goes down stairs and plops himself on the couch and waits. We parents are very well trained. Sometimes we try to skip this step and we lose every time. Or sometimes we let him watch TV but we will turn on one of our shows, which makes him mad! How do we know this? Because he will just sit there and make noise while we try to watch and every time Mike pauses the show, he stops, but as soon as Mike pushes play he starts up again. He is such a pill...it's a darn good thing your cute Spencer!

So his other famous request is, "MOM! MOM" then he does the sign for 'drink' then the sign for 'milk'. When he finally gets me up to get his milk, he motions me with his arm to the pantry while yelling, "AAA...AAA..." and points to the nesquik. Then he just looks at me and says, "aaa?" And yup that translates to, "Mom, would you be so kind to get me a glass of chocolate milk please?"
