How about you? Can you look the jolly ol' elf in the eye?
Squirming on Santa's knee aside, Spencer really is the best of boys.
His private Christmas morning the other day before Lucy or I awoke was certainly not malicious.
And he only opened one gift.
(Lucy's. But we had it concealed again before she even flickered an eyelid.)
He really is very well behaved.
Always uses his very best manners when asking for a piece of candy.
There are (frequent) temper tantrums.
Yesterday, I started to address one, saying, "Honey, I'm sorry that you're sad, but..."
Spencer interrupted with a growl, "I'm not SAD! I'm ANGRY!"
And it makes him angry if I laugh in the face of his fury.
So I try to purse my smiling lips and furrow my brow appropriately.
But sometimes it's hard to conceal the humor.
Today, Lucy walked past an outburst in progress and said (with just a trace of condescension), "Remember that song, 'You better not pout"...?"
He remembers.
And Santa and I love him.

Oh I love this post! That picture of Spencer's 'pout' in front of the Christmas tree and that video--priceless!
Oh that Spencer reminds me of my boys :) I LOVED the video! Spencer is much nicer to Lucy (pushing her away) then my boys would have been! They probably would have stopped the song to tell the other brother to stop helping! And I loved his little stomping foot :)
I think Spencer and Rhett would have such fun together!
After my bitter/sweet tears of "Posts Past"....I am rolling over with laughter over this one.
Thanks, I needed it!
Yes, the stomping foot at the beginning was a very nice touch. And lots of (quiet--I'm at work) laughter here. What a darling boy he is (even if he does have tantrums, he's just so darn cute).
Thanks for the smiles! Love those little singers!!! See you soon!
That pouty face is so darn cute. I'd have a hard time not smiling too :)
I love how Lucy is trying to help and Spencer is bordering on the edge of 'not nice' by pushing her out of the pic! We love Spud!
I love how he is using a bum push to get her away! hee hee hee! So cute. How precious that you will have this forever recorded.
