We have been trying to help Natalie by taking Ashton on Wednesdays and returning him back home on Thursday afternoons when I go to the temple. Steve actually does almost all of the tending, but I do get some quality time with him after school and before he falls asleep on Wednesday evenings. Steve sometimes brings Ashton over to school while I am finishing up. He loves to write on the white board, and he enjoys looking in my little refrigerator for water bottles. He's quite fond of my desk and anything I might have in my drawers like pieces of hard candy. One Wednesday after Steve and Ashton visited me at school we stopped off at Firehouse Subs for an early dinner. With his children's meal, he got a fireman's hat which he seemed happy with. He's full of personality and is very obedient and happy when he's with us. Ashton always calls our house "Grandpa's House." One morning before I left for school he got up early. When he came down the stairs, the first thing he asked me was "Where's Grandpa?" Ashton and Grandpa are quite a good pair enjoying time at the park, the Stake Center, McDonald's, Petsmart, or hanging around the house watching a little TV. It's cute watching them have fun together. It's also fun to watch Ashton grow up right before our eyes. He has a good vocabulary. This week he was talking about his new skateboard that has a picture of a red dragon on it. He's quite impressed with it. He is sure his dad will shoot it with his big gun since it is so scary and probably will bite us soon.
