Easter Eggs and Giggling - A Few Firsts

We had a really nice morning today. Daniel participated in his first Easter Egg Hunt and Christohper giggled. I know the Easter Egg hunt video is a bit longer than the average one, but you get to see the whole thing. After we quit the video Daniel found the ball featured in the other video and lost all interest in eggs. He did, however, discover tetherball which was very exciting for both Boppa and Daniel. I'm not sure who had a harder time going home when the party was over.

So I made a novice parent mistake at the Easter Egg Hunt today. I put 'grass' in Daniel's basket. It is already all over our house and Easter is not until next weekend! That stuff has a way of growing exponentially.

Bouncing the Ball and Waving

Here is a cute one of Christopher cooing and waving ;)

Daniel thought this game was the best. He was so excited to see the ball bounce.

The Science of Dinnertime

The minutes leading up to dinner are usually quite chaotic at my house. It usually involves me trying to put something together quickly, Daniel crying because I won't let him have snacks from the pantry, and Christopher crying just because everyone else is stressed out, and Matt just getting home from work. I probably need to learn more make-ahead recipes because whenever dinner finally gets to the table, it's rarely hot. Well tonight I thought I was really smart, so when dinner was going to be ready in 20 minutes, I sent Daniel and Matt out for a stroll to drop off the Easter eggs for our nieghborhood hunt this weekend. I thought I had the perfect plan. Daniel would be occupied right up until dinner was served, and they would get an errand done for me in the meantime. Well, I finished cooking dinner and had half of it on the plates, but Matt and Daniel weren't back. I peeked out the window to find them two doors down chatting with the neighbors. I went out and called them home for dinner. That was 20 minutes ago, and they are still not here. They are not at the neighbors either, and our asparagus is now mush and the sweet potatoes are cold. This is what happens when I try to think :)

ABC Induced Falling

Daniel has been practicing his ABCs recently, so we thought that it might be time to record it for the history books. Little did we know that saying the ABCs for the camera would cause him to forget how to remain upright. Although the second one has a kind of big crash, Daniel was ok. We did not even need the boo-boo bunny :)

Count Reads Spoon

A couple days ago, Matt had Count read the book "Spoon" to Daniel. Well, every morning since then Daniel has adamantly requested that it happen again. This is just a little snippet, but you should get the idea. I think it's pretty funny when Daniel gives Matt Count after he turns the page as if to say, "Don't forget that Count is reading the story." Sorry that Daniel is muffled by the sippy cup.

Count is one of our favorites these days.
