My heart just breaks. Our baby is growing up. Not just growing a little-but a lot! He weighed 50 pounds at the doctor today. That is half of a hundred and I can't calculate how much of me but one day he will weigh more than me! While all of our kids have their own story, Easton was our first. He showed us that we could have children and opened our hearts to wanting more. He is so smart. He reads giant, encyclopedia like books. He knows lots about everything. He is the best big brother ever. He nurses Weston back to health in a way that I can't explain. He says he wants 12 kids and I pray for his future wife. Not just because of the kids, but I pray for all of the kids future wives and husbands. He loves babies and can feed, change, put clothes on, and put a baby in their carseat. Maybe that comes from having so many brothers and sisters. He says he wants more-who knows?
Did I mention how smart he is? While I like to think Adam and I are pretty smart, Easton is amazingly smart. Like in the weird way and you wonder how can he possibly know that? Yeah, he is like that. He has taught himself to read and write and add and subtract and all kinds of science stuff. He wants me to buy him a chemistry set but I am scared he will build a bomb-just for fun. He is currently on 2nd grade reading since Nana let him read all of the books for 1st grade reading while Adam and I went to lunch. It was a huge surprise for us to come back and him to tell me he was done with 1st grade. He shakes all of Weston's doctors hands and tells them to take good care of him. What a giving little guy.
I always joke that if I ever die, he will be in charge. Adam will be busy working. Easton will run the house and organize Easton's medicine. He is one of my best friends. We have this funny thing where we write notes to each other everyday. Mainly, we write about loving each other and fun things we have done. He is such a little treasure.
