Wade Family: Easton

Can I just say that Easton is one funny kid. Easton is now 3 1/2 and full of energy, life, and humor. He is super smart as well and I am a little worried we may have a class clown on our hands if he gets bored in school. For example, when we were at Brown County we watched Angels in the Outfield one night. Easton didn't even look like he was paying attention but then last week when Jonathan was playing with them in the backyard he came in and said that Easton was quoting parts of the movie. That is just how he is. He will remember everything and even know little details about it even if you think he wasn't paying attention. So far we have not signed him up for any sports because he is still too young in our opinion. He may play soccer next year when he is four though. Right now the big thing for him is getting ready for preschool. Just like Kenan, Easton is registered at Friends Forever and as far as I know will have Ms. Betsy. He is so excited. He is more outgoing than Kenan and feeds off of people. It is weird because since Kenan started right after he turned 3 and Easton will be 6 months older than that he seems like he should be in preK vs. preschool. This summer he hasn't taken naps consistantly like he was doing. Most of this has to do with our busy schedule in the summer and having too much fun to make him take a nap. It is funny to see that as the summer has progressed he has fallen asleep more and more in the afternoons. I think we have worn him out. I am thankful for this because I hope to get him to take at least a small nap most afternoons once school starts again. Kenan stopped napping around 4 and I am shooting for at least this, if not longer(next summer preferrably). Lastly, I am so proud of Easton's swimming. At the beginning of the summer he was scared to try and swim without his wings. He would just put his hands to his side and sink. Then he would tell me,"see I told you I would drown." Gradually he came around, and now he can swim a sloppy freestyle about 3-5 feet. As long as he can get there in one breath he is good.
