Easton is smiling!

We took these pictures about three weeks ago and it was a great morning. For the first time in over a month Easton was smiling!The past month has been so hard to watch Easton go from firecracker to antisocial and I can't imagine what Easton was really going through or feeling in his little body! His personality changed so much and all he wanted was to be alone lying in a bed. After his one month of flooding him with chemo and steriods he is starting to be his normal self (just a little bit weaker of course). After taking his pictures and seeing him play with Boston and the horses I started to cry when I got in my car! I was so greatful to see Easton happy and smiling again! Keep smiling East!!

"Oh, the funny things kids say"

06-10-08 While running errands Boston shouted from the back seat "Mom, I really have to go potty!" I said, "can you wait just a little bit longer until we get home?" Boston said, "No, I need to go right now!" So we went to the nearest store and ran in to use their bathroom. When he sat down on the toilet he said, "Thanks Mom. . . you saveded my life! I almost pooped in my pants and that is really naughty."
05-08-08 I was putting Boston to bed tonight and I said, "OK, time for prayers" and Boston said, "Mom, I don't want to say my prayers tonight" and I said "Boston Just say what you feel in your heart" and he looked at me so serious and put his hand over his heart and said, "Mom, I dont feel anything on my heart!" I tried not to laugh and then said, " Well then just tell Heavenly Father what your greatful for and he looked at me said, "Just you MOM!" and then gave me a big hug!
04-25-08 Boston discovered somebody to play with last night. We were outside and getting ready to come into the house and Boston said, " Dad can I play with my shadow a little bit longer." We said yes to see what he was going to play with his shadow and he ran toward it clapping his hands saying, " come on, come on, we need to go." I assured him that everyday his shadow would be by him. He finally came in the house to go to bed.
04-10-08 Last night once again Boston got me laughing during his prayers but this time we had to have a talk about what 's OK to say in our prayers and what is respectful! He was in a goofy mood to start with when he went to bed so I should have guessed something like this would come out in his prayers. He said, "Heavenly Father thank you for my teeth (chuckle, chuckle), thank you for my lips (chuckle, chuckle), thank you for my eyes (chuckle, chuckle) and thank you for the chair that I poop on (then he laughs hysterically out loud.) It was all I could do to stop myself from laughing with him.
04-07-08 My mom just had a total knee replacement last week and so Boston has been praying for her to feel better. Today in his prayers he prayed, "Please bless nannie that she can feel better and that Easton can feel better but you don't need to bless me because I'm not sick!" I laughed inside and thought that is a four year olds way of saying, thanks for blessing me with a healthy body.
03-25-08 Last night Luci caught all of us off gaurd. Lately we have been getting mad at Boston for burping without covering his mouth or saying excuse me. Last night for the first time Luci burped really loud and then with a big smile said, "Excuse me!" It was the cutest thing and we could not stop laughing!
03-25-08 Most of the funny things Boston says are in his prayers at night. He is so sincere about what he prays for. Yesterday we were with his cousin Easton who just recently was diagnosed with cancer. After watching them leave the park Boston with a concerned look on his face said, "Mom, poor easton! I hope he can feel better." That night in his prayers he prayed that, "All things that hurt on Eastons body would feel better and that he can drink the medicine that will make him feel better so he can jump high." He is so concerened about his cousin and they are best buds!
