Easton Stories

Here are a few "Easton Stories" that I want to remember:

We were driving down Main Street and Easton saw the clock on the Simmons First building. It is a regular clock with hands and it was 7:40. He said, "Momma, it is 8:00!" I said, "It is?" He said, "Look! The clock says it's 8:00!". I was so proud. Both of the hands were pointing to the 8. We have a book where you move the hands of the clock and we had been talking about time. Very observant little boy!!! : )

We were sitting in Lenny's (my absolute favorite lunch spot!) and Easton said, "When I get big, I will be able to go back there." And he pointed to the kitchen area. I said, "Are you going to work here?" He said, "Yeah, when I get big, I can go back there and make food." A few days later I was telling Mat what he said and Easton heard me. Easton said, "Yeah, and I will put those things on my hands (gloves) and make sandwiches and then I can carry the plates!"  Ahh.... his first ambitions!

This is a story within a story. It may not be funny to you, but I laughed really hard. We were driving in the car and Easton and I were talking about the rain. Easton said, "It rains so the plants will grow." I said, "yeah". He said, "The rain helps the plants grow really tall and they will grow up to the sky - to Heaven." I said "Wow, yeah!" I thought his comment was insightful so I started telling Mat what he said - word for word. I was saying "and Easton said 'this' and Easton said 'that'. " When I was finished telling Mat, Easton piped up and said "And momma, you said, "Yeah."
