Easter

Getting ready to find some Easter eggs!

Found one!

Putting 'em in the "basket"

Another one!

Hey! There's Goldfish in these!
For Jack's first Easter (well, the first one that he actually was awake through!) we "hid" some plastic eggs filled with Goldfish, Cheerios and Teddy Grahams. We didn't know how well it would go over but we figured we'd try it. They weren't exactly hidden, at least not from the perspective of anyone with eyes but, come on, he's only 1! I dumped out one of his buckets to use as a basket. I told him to find the egg. "EGG!" he yelled and followed my directions to put them in the bucket really well. He loved shaking the eggs. In the process of one particularly vigorous shaking, he opened one and realized that there was even MORE magic! There was food in them! His favorite snacks. He would excitedly grab his shirt and pull on it after each little bite! He did way better than I expected and I can't wait to make the hiding more difficult and to take it outside!!
