Easton’s family says he is the sweetest “sugar cube” you will meet! He has a gleeful grin and loves to be silly. He loves to play chase or ball with his brother and always has a toy car close by. Easton is a big explorer and likes to figure out how things work. This fun-loving boy loves belly tickles and laughing at goofy phrases.
Born prematurely, Easton faced challenges early on. His language was delayed and he was diagnosed with hearing loss in his left ear. Through early intervention, and speech, physical, and occupational therapies, he is making great progress. Working hard at becoming stronger, his determination led him to start walking at 18 months old. Recently Easton was diagnosed with Autism, which makes it challenging for him to communicate and interact. These diagnoses do not take away from Easton’s loving personality. He finds joy in tasks and activities each day and stays determined to reach his goals.
Easton inspires his family through the happiness he demonstrates every day. He brings light to everyone he meets and his bright smile is one that instantly puts a smile on people’s faces. Easton’s optimistic outlook shows others that they can find positives in all situations.
His mom, Lauren, shares, “I hope Easton teaches us all that we are each facing invisible battles and need to extend love and grace to all.”
