Collin enjoyed dying Easter eggs this year for the first time. We opted out last year since we were traveling and because Collin didn't really get it. This year, he definitely got it. He figured this was the coolest thing he had done in weeks. I'm not sure if it was because he was allowed to make a mess or if it was his fascination with cracking the eggs. He first realized that the eggs would break when one accidentally fell on the floor. His, "oh, no" was quickly followed by "oooh..." Colling really enjoyed peeling the eggs, so he began to bang them on the countertop. My mom and I were able to rescue most of the eggs from Collin's torturous destruction. By the time he finished we had a huge mess. Gentle is not an adjective we would use to describe Collin. He had dye sloshed everywhere, a few cracked eggs, some half-peeled eggs and a few that made it successfully through the whole process. Fortunately, my mom was there to assure me that the mess was easy to clean and that Collin was having a blast. He did think this was his latest and greatest project.
The next morning Collin was very excited to see that the Easter bunny had come to visit. It's so much fun to see him begin to understand what a present is and what a surprise is. He was thrilled with his new choo-choo train, books, sidewalk chalk and, best of all, jelly beans. Collin loves jelly beans. Then it was off to church for a great service. Collin enjoyed playing in the nursery and coloring pictures :) Kaka made a great Easter dinner and we enjoyed a laid back afternoon. The day was perfectly complete with an after nap Easter egg hunt.
