Easton...

Easton cracks me up!  This kid is going to be the class clown.  He thinks everything is funny and can find humor in any situation.  Some of his favorites... bubble baths, football, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Monsters University, Smurfs 2 and Madi.  He has been totally jealous of Madi going to friends houses or having friends here and feeling left out.  He will tell me "You're my best friend" or sometimes "Madi's my best friend."  It is so sweet.  He also MISSES everyone.  He will look out the window every morning and say "I miss daddy."  If Madi is gone, he misses her too.

Easton is VERY independent.  He tells us all the time "I do it!"  If you don't let him then he will cry and put it how it was so he can do it.  On occasion he will stomp his foot, fold his arms, put his bottom lip out and declare "I'm mad at you."  It is so hard to keep a straight face!

He loves the little monkey on Croods and mimics him until it makes Madi mad.  "Da, Da, Daaah!"

He is terrified of the dark.  His light has a dimmer so we keep it on at night, dimmed all the way, but he will still wake up crying hysterically and tell us he is scared of the dark.  He cries in the car when we go anywhere at night too.

Some of the things I LOVE that he says... "That's delicious" and "that's a great idea!"  A few weeks ago we were eating dinner.  He didn't want to eat and I said " I made cheesy rice."  He took a big bite and said "That's a great idea!" like I was pure genius.

He keeps me on my toes.  I was getting dressed the other day and he comes running in my room. He whips out a butter knife and yells "Hi-ya!  I'm a pirate!!!"  The kid cracks me up! 

Madi and Easton fight and argue a lot!  I know they still love each other though because every now and then they have sweet moments like this, holding hands in the car.  Or they share or hug each other.  I love the sweet times when they play together and are kind to each other. 

I mentioned our trip to Bliss in Madi's update.  Easton ♥LOVES♥ shoes!  He put these on himself.  If Madi was going to try them on, so was he.  We took him across the hall to Payless and he tried on ten or so pairs.  When we didn't buy him any he had a complete meltdown and we had to leave the mall.  He's just like his daddy. :D
