Funny videos



This is Easton's newest phrase, and he says it a lot! Usually it's a little clearer, but he really was stuck, and a little upset by the time I started filming.




We were sitting in the car this morning waiting for 7:30 to roll around so Easton could go to daycare. He was telling me what Santa says, so I thought I'd share it with you!

Visiting Santa

We went to see Santa this last weekend. Easton wasn't scared of him, but he wouldn't sit on his lap. The best we got was a high five! Cousin Cayden wasn't scared at all though!




After visiting Santa, we saw some beautiful horses giving carriage rides outside the mall. We didn't go for a ride, but Easton got to pet the horses.


In preparation of meeting Santa, I had gotten Easton a few books with Santa in them. This one is very large and doesn't fit on the shelf, but it has fun tabs to open up. Last night I found Easton sitting in my chair reading to himself.

Big boy bed

We got Easton a big boy bed two weeks ago. Thought we'd get him adjusted to not sleeping in the crib before the baby comes. Just one less thing that he has to adjust to at that time! Baby alone will be a big enough adjustment, I'm sure!

He really likes the bed since he can get in and out of it himself. He's fallen asleep in it every night (except maybe one), with Daddy or I (ok, only me once!) laying down with him. At night if we ask him if he's ready to go night-night, he'll tell us yes and go to him room and climb in bed after giving us hugs and kisses. Of course, he won't stay there himself yet, so we do have to lay with him. But it's better than me rocking him to sleep every night. We're making progress!



Easton found Mommy's cowboy boots the other day. He's all about wearing our shoes around, or making us put them on whether we want to or not!

Big Barn

For Christmas, Elwin built Easton a barn. It's not a little barn, by any means! It's a big barn! It can fit Tonka trucks and large tractors. If he tried, I'm sure Easton could get in it too! We got him some farm animals for Christmas too, and he just loves them. He carries the sheep and horse around. Apparently they're better than the pig and the cow! And at night, sometimes he'll put everything back in the barn to go to sleep. Sometimes.




We had a couple snow days, so we piled on the clothes and decided to try out the snow. The last attempt wasn't too successful, but this time it was a little better. Elwin pushed him around the slick driveway on a shovel, which he thought was pretty great for a while. It was in the single digits that day, so we only stayed out about 10 minutes. The sitter takes them out and pulls them on the sled and he loves that. We haven't made it out to sled yet, but it looks like we might have another chance in a day or two! Not much for timing, but when is snow ever timed just right?!
