Coronation Day - Spenceman Gets Crowned

Having gotten rid of big sibs Gabi and Ethan to sleepaway camps, Spencer was eagerly anticipating his tenure as King of the Cohen Castle. On Coronation Day, we were excited to have a full Mommy-and-Spencer-Day-of-Fun!

Check out my baby's shirt! "I LIKE MY DAD Mommy VERY MUCH."

We went to the Thinkery, the Austin children's museum. Unlike when I chaperoned his Kinder field trip in the spring, Spencer could do whatever he wanted, in any order he wanted, for as long as he wanted, however he wanted - with all of his adult's attention devoted to him.


We spent a while making stop animation videos.


He was thinking, tinkering, exploring, questioning, and in his element the whole time.

Spencer and Mommy continued our special day together at lunch around the corner from the museum. After I surprised him with his favorite vacation drink, Shirley Temple, he exclaimed, "THEY HAVE MEXICO DRINKS HERE?!?!"

At night, we made a surprise birthday ice cream cake for Aunt Mor who was visiting us the next day. And what's the end of a special day without sneaking some ice cream in?
