How is it that little boys can grow up seemingly overnight and we are left wondering how the little baby with big blue eyes turned into this strong, sweet, responsible boy.
A while back I posted this. It was in 2010. And now it's 2013 and you're even more grown up than you were then. The time has flown.
Easton has been my best little friend lately. He has matured and grown so much in kindergarten this year. He has learned to calm his emotions, bear his deep testimony, teach a wonderful family home evening lesson all by himself, and read. He amazes me with his ability to help with chores and tending Maylie so I can get a few things done. We hold intelligent, adult-like conversations and he understands the subtle nuances of humor. He is absolutely a delight to be around, and while there are many things that show me he's still little, I just can't believe how grown up he is every single day.
A few weeks back when we visited Nana and Papa's, they gave him a little temple figurine of the Idaho Falls Temple to keep for his very own. They told him it was the temple they were married in, and he took it home all wrapped up safely in his backpack. We got home late, and the boys went straight to bed, but when I went in his room the next morning after Easton had gone to school, I found this:.....
And here the temple resides. It was entirely his own idea and I love how spiritual he is already. I hope I can show the same dedication and love for the temple as my dear sweet Easton.
