Silly Boy!

So, Easton did the funniest thing last night and I just had to write it down before I forget. I brought him in the house and he was screaming because he wanted to go back outside so I was going to the kitchen to get him something to eat. Well, all of the sudden I saw something jump sideways on the floor and looked down and it was a big, blue spider! I am TERRIFIED of spiders so I stood there freaking out for a minute since Jonathan wasn't home to kill it for me. I finally grabbed the lid off the crock pot and threw it on the spider, which it trapped. On closer inspection, I realized it was just a piece of blue string, no spider. :) But amidst my little escapade Easton started laughing his head off. I thought back to what I had done but I had no idea. When I realized the "spider" was just a string, I said, "Oh shoot" and Easton started laughing his head off again. I must have said it when I was freaking out and for some reason he thought it was hilarious, so all night whenever I would say, "Oh shoot" he would laugh and snort! I know this is probably just funny to me, but I love to hear him laugh so I probably said it about a hundred times! What a funny kid!

My Silly Boys

Easton LOVES nursery! I told him we were going somewhere fun today and he said, "To nursery??" and got all excited.
Easton pays really close attention to what we say. He calls me "babe" and Jonathan "sweetie." Often he'll say, "Whatchya doin babe?" or "Is sweetie at work?"
Easton woke up from his nap and went straight up to Caden and patted his head and said, "Hey, cool haircut baby."
Easton calls everything silly. When we're running if a bush whacks him in the face he says, "Oh, silly bush!"
Easton pulled a rock out of his shoe and said, "Hey rock! Whatchya doin?"
Easton started whimpering to me and said, "Mom I'm crying" and when I asked why he said, "because your love your love your love is my fun!" and danced away.
While driving, Easton will look out the window and say to himself, "Watch the trees. watch the mountains, watch the cars" and sometimes just start naming things like, "watch Dora, watch the temple, watch lake powell, watch the swimming cool."
At breakfast, Easton asked me to blow him a kiss and when I did he slapped his cheek and said, "Oh, right in the face!"
Caden loves to sing and dance! It starts with the head bob then moves to an entire torso bob and then he gets the "Uuhhh uuuhh" singing going! So cute!
We were swimming and Easton came up and poked my thigh and said, "Squishy leggies!"
I was getting ready and Easton came in and asked me if he could wear a white flower in his hair.
Me: Easton, if you go in the toilet you can have Kachow(Lightning McQueen) underwear. Easton: Mmmm.... Kachow diapers?
Jonathan said he was going to take a shower and Easton said, "all by hisself!" because he hates showers and didn't want to take one with him.
After I get done running on the treadmill Easton cheers "Yay mama" and claps for me. Lately he hops on and says "Didi's turn" and runs in place.
Easton calls himself "Didi." We have no idea why.
Caden pooped in the tub and Easton said "baby no poops bubble bath cucka!"
I asked Easton who his best friend was and he brought me his stuffed Syd the Sloth from "Ice Age" and now he takes his "bres fren" everywhere.
Whenever someone sneezes Easton says, "Bess you!" It is soooo cute!
I said the prayer in Relief Society so about ten minutes into the lesson, Easton walked up to the front of the room, folded his arms, and said a prayer then smiled and came and sat back down by me.
I was singing "I Am A Child of God" and when I sang "...find the way" Easton must have misheard me and sang "no way" with me for the rest of the song.
If you blow on Caden's tummy he giggles!
We were teaching Caden to roll over and Easton pushed Jonathan over and then clapped and cheered, "Yay Dada!"
Cadens favorite game is when you blow raspberries at him so he constantly sticks his tongue at us till we do it back and then he smiles and gets all excited.
So last night we went to Applebees and it was karaoke night and Easton was going crazy dancing to the music! It was hilarious! The manager even came and started dancing with him! What a funny kid.
During their bath, Easton threw a ball at Caden and hit him right in the middle of the head, not trying to be mean, just funny. I waited to see what Caden would do, and he just looked at Easton for a second and then got a huge grin on his face! Yay, another kid that loves being hit in the head!
I gave Caden and Easton a bath together last night and I have never seen Caden so happy! He LOVES Easton and just kept smiling and cooing and gurgling at him!
So, a few nights later we were trying to leave for our ward Christmas party and Easton tried to walk right out the door with the bucket on his head. Then he had a fit cuz we wouldn't let him wear it. Next time I'll just let him.
So last night Jonathan and I were doing the dishes and we heard a crash in the living room. We found Easton walking around with a bucket on his head! He kept running into things and tripping, but for some reason thought it was fun!
Easton likes to get on his hands and knees and then says "bebe" and wants us to put the baby on his back so he can be a horse.
Now that Easton understands the concept of "baby" anything small can be a "baby." For example, Grandma called little cars "baby cars" and now all of the sudden we have baby flowers (leaves), baby snow ( ice), baby vroom vrooms (little cars) and baby basketballs (little ones). Of course, with Easton's limited vocabulary these come out "be-wowa," "be-no," "be-vroom," and my favorite (which is a tongue-twister for him), "be-ba-be-be-ball-ba-be-ba...be-be-b-ball!"
