Well, Easton is doing great with his boot. He doesn't try to remove it at all. And he seems to like it. He can run with it on (which he couldn't do without it because it hurt too much) and he's jumping, climbing, and dancing as usual. Plus he's been in a great mood.

We did Kindermusik this morning and Easton did so very well. He just did awesome with focusing and paying attention and not running around the room. He danced when we were supposed to and played his instruments when we were supposed to. The teacher even started an echoing game where she's sing, "Baa baa" and then call on a kid to echo her. She never called on Easton so he turned around to me and whispered, "Baa baa" which I loved because I knew he "got" the game and I loved that he whispered so he wouldn't get "caught". Tee hee. We were whispering in class together!

After Kindermusik we returned some things to Babies R Us and got some gas and found ourselves ready to do something fun like Circle Time. So we went there since we missed yesterday and E did the best he's ever done. He did the motions to the songs, repeated the names of colors when the librarian said them, he danced the way the songs said...a song he's never heard and he'd watch the librarian spin around or have a rest or march and I'd give him cues that he understands like, "go round and round" or "go night night" or "stomp stomp stomp" and he'd do them all. It was so great. She gave out a little teeny container of bubbles to each kid at the end and we blew a few before we left. Just once Easton got a bubble going himself but every other time he'd try to put the wand too close to his mouth or he would do his silly blow and not a real attempt. He'll get it soon, I'm sure. I told him we could do more bubbles after his lunch and nap.

It took him so long again to fall asleep for his nap. I've always thought Easton would be the type to give up napping by age 2 but now I'm afraid it may happen even earlier. Great. I apparently wasn't much of a napper until I got mono in high school. J has never ever been a napper and still can't/won't. We've done this to ourselves. :)

Here's a picture from this morning:

He wanted to brush when he saw me brushing. He's been doing that lately (wanting to brush when we do) and I'm more than happy to oblidge.

And here's a very blurry (but still cute) one of him before naptime:

Notice him sporting the boot in both the pics? We're trying to make him wear a sock with it to keep all the toe cheese from funking it up too much over the next 2-3 weeks. Ick. I'm glad it's removable and he's still washable unlike a cast or something. Gross.

Well, I guess the last thing to say is that I changed the "Same Time Last Year" stuffs. They're from 9/30 of last year and I love the video and how excited Easton gets when it's time for a sip of water. Okay, now I'm done...
