Whew - what a day! Easton woke up earlier than usual, so the day was off to a not-so-great start. I was scheduled to keep Natalie's son, Canaan, while she went to a dentist appointment .... however, her car wouldn't start due to a dead battery so she had to cancel her appointment. Once Jason got home from work, he took Nat to get a new battery - while they were gone both kids decided to have simultaneous meltdowns .... yay for me! A quick call to Natalie made me realize that food was the answer, so out came the snacks and all was well :-)
Jason had a few issues with changing out the battery, but finally got Nat's car up and working again. While he worked, Nat, Canaan, Easton & I had a mini-playgroup with Grace, Ruthie, Diana and Esther. The kids played together for several hours while the moms had coffee and talked about everything from coupons to baby stuff ... have I mentioned lately how much I love these playtimes? I honestly think they are as good for the moms as they are for the kids!
After everyone left, Easton took a short nap then we had dinner. After dinner it was bathtime, and also an appropriate time to give Easton his gift for the day .... bath toys! It's a really cool set with a boat that comes with a captain, fishing rod, fish and other fun goodies. Easton really seemed to like his gift, check him out:
"Oh fun ... a gift for me!"
"I LOVE IT!"
Playing w/ the captain of the boat - notice the strategically placed washcloth :-)
WOW! Where did that fish come from????
Uh....Easton - you are not supposed to EAT the fish, just play with them :-)

He is so happy!!! So glad we got to squeeze in another playdate. I definitely think I may enjoy them more than Ruthie ;-). Thanks for having us over, and super impressed this post was up today ;-)
He is just so cute!
I've been reading your blog but not commenting much!
Your dh was so sweet to help your friend with the battery. It warms my heart to hear of people helping each other.
We recently had a dead battery and had to call roadside service, no offers to help around here!
Easton is such a cutie pie.
