Easter

We were so excited for the baby's first easter. Our city hosted a easter egg hunt at the park and we got her all dressed and bought her a basket. The hunt was divided into different age catagories. we would be part of the 2 and under group. Seemed a little unfair to me. Our child had just mastered standing up compared to little boys that were already running sprints. They said they would allow the children under 1 to go first.

The whistle sounded and off she went. She had no idea what to do. She could barely walk with her basket. He pointed to an egg and then tried to coax her towards it. There was one rule, and that was that parents could not touch the eggs. He pointed I encouraged. Then they released the 2 years olds. This kid ran up to the egg and took it! We pointed to another egg. this time he stood around it almost like protecting it. I grabbed her hand and dragged her to the egg. She picked it up. I don't know why but we felt like we had just accomplished something.

we pointed to another egg hoping she would understand the idea. She looked at her egg, she looked at the other egg and then just plopped down. She was satisfied with her one accomplishment, we were not. We literally picked her up and plopped her in front of another egg. we looked ridiculous. we were doing all the running around and she just plopped. we ended with 6 eggs. We were proud of ourselves.
