Easton is Eight!
Easton's birthday seems to have lasted for about two weeks. It started with a friends birthday at Nebs Fun World where he celebrated with Krishna, Nathan, and Lucas. The boys enjoyed bowling, pizza, cake, present opening, rides, the playground area, the arcade, and then when we got back to our house it was time for party part 2! This is where Todd, Shawn K, Shawn B, and Ryan all came and played LAN party games of Easton's choice for his birthday! This also included a fun sleepover with Todd! (And the rest of the clan). The parents even enjoyed some fun late night board game time!
His actual birthday was on a Tuesday so he was happy to hear his name on the announcements at school!
While unrelated to his birthday, that same week was the Terry Fox Fun and Easton's first ever Cross Country meet against other schools. He has been practicing for both for about a month including running while at the arena while Hadley skated! He loves to run! This made his week! He came in 25th out of 76 runners! I was a proud mamma and felt very fortunate to be able to watch him run!
I did a few laps of Terry Fox with both Hadley and Easton at the school and watched from the sidelines with the other parents and teachers at the Cross Country meet.
Thanksgiving gives us a great way to celebrate Easton's birthday with family. We had one weekend where we had a turkey dinner at home and then a turkey dinner with cake at Brian's dads. Then the following weekend we went to Snyders farm in Waterloo where we met up with Brian's mom, Julie and Wole. Here we enjoyed a corn maze, a mini petting zoo, jumping pillows (kind of like trampolines, or jumpy castles), a playground area, haunted houses, straw to climb on, pedal cars, and a hay ride. We then slept in Listowel and had yet another thanksgiving with my dad. Here we also celebrated Jayden, Jensyn, Beckett and Easton's birthday's.
The doctors report for this year: Easton is up to 58.6 pounds. Last year he was 53 pounds. He has maintained the 50th percentile. He is growing like crazy and is up to 129.7 cm up from 123 cm from last year. This is about the 55% percentile.
All good! I can't wait to enjoy every moment of him being 8!
