While his mother, Nancy, is busy talking, Spencer repeatedly pushes the plunger on the large, syringe-like portion of the device, then fiddles with the end of one of the tubes until a small plastic piece falls off. Occasionally he looks tempted to put a portion of it in his mouth, but then he’ll suddenly be distracted by a gentle game of tug-of-war over the apparatus with his 3-year-old sister, Claire.
A creative mind could find all kinds of uses for the metal-and-plastic contraption currently found in the young boy’s hands.
It’s easy to forget that the original purpose of Spencer’s “toy” was to keep him alive.
