Hooray for the Red, White and Blue

For the past few weeks Spencer has been singing "Hooray for the red, white and blue." Is this a song? I have no idea. If it is, Spencer only knows that one line. However, he makes up for the lack of lyrics by singing that one line over and over. And over. Sometimes he finds a tree branch or something else he can wave. With arm high, he waves his "flag" and marches up and down singing. At first I was puzzled by his behavior. But then I thought he must be feeling really proud of America. But today he mentioned that maybe the red, white and blue could be the American flag. Hmm...Perhaps he just likes the song.

Spencer told me that he had a really great day today and that the things he liked best today were as follows:
(1) Coloring
(2) Waking up
(3) Being with Mom
(4) Coloring
Please note that coloring made the list twice. And although I acknowledge that "waking up" is a key part of one's day, I am hoping that being with me will edge it out on a subsequent list.
