My First Easter

Yesterday I got to dye easter eggs for the first time; I think I'm really good at it; maybe I'll be an egg artist when I grow up.

Here is my basic strategy: first you have to crack the egg a bit on the side of the cup, this helps it absorb the dye; next you plop the egg in the cup and slosh the dye around with your hands, don't be afraid to get your hands full of dye; finally when you've got enough dye on your hands, stomach, pants, and table top you can pull the egg out, make sure to taste it! Let it sit until dry.

Last night I set out the easter basket that Nanny sent me, it's a cool dump truck, and waited patiently for the Easter Bunny to bring me goodies. I got some snacks, some baby food in jars, some dinosaur pajamas and a really neat boat for the bathtub.

This Easter thing is pretty cool; I got some toys from Nanny and some books from Grammy and Grandpa too! Mommy even let me get messy with egg dye which you all know is quite a leap for her. I hear next year I might be able to hunt eggs...I wonder how that works?

Viva Las Vegas

We spent the week of Spring Break in sunny Las Vegas. Our first few days were great; we stayed at the Mandalay Bay hotel because they had the best pools. I got to go swimming for the first time. I didn't really like it at first but once I understood it was like my bathtub I enjoyed myself. We toured the city a bit and rode the monorail to the other casinos.

It was a good thing that our hotel was nice because I got a stomach virus and then Daddy caught it the next day, so we spent the last 2 days of our 4 day trip mostly in our hotel room. Mommy was a bit disappointed because she had to take care of everyone and didn't get to spend time in the sun or see a show like she wanted. Fortunately Mommy didn't catch the virus until we got home.

Everyone is mostly feeling better now; I'm still not back to eating what I normally do which is a bummer with Easter this weekend. I hope the Easter Bunny still brings me goodies that I can eat later.
