Whooo Whooo

Spencer is well on his way to a career in bird science, poultry farming or aviary management. He makes four animal noises and three of them are birds: quack quack quack-duck, cluck cluck cluck-chicken and whooo whooo whooo- owl (the other non-bird noise is a moo moo moo- cow). The boy loves birds.

His owl impersonation is particularly lovely. I think it's hilarious that of all the animal noises he could do, he enjoys hooting the most. What part of the brain is responsible for that?

I bought Spencer a new book about owl babies last night. He was sitting on our bed when I handed it to him. He took it, crawled up to the head of the bed, sat down on a pillow, pulled the blankets up over his legs and started looking at the pages. All on his own- we didn't tell him to do that. It was too cute.

Now if we could only find a way to have him sit still during the reading of a whole book. He lets us read one page, then takes the book and throws it away or closes it and says "all done".
