Elliot - April was awful...it kept snowing and it was cold and rainy and windy and wet...you get the idea. It left everyone crabby and really ready for spring. You became very tired of putting on snow boots and snow pants at school. One day you even asked if it would ever be warm enough to go to the pool? At the time I answered honestly...I don't know.
Easter was very fun with you as you had a calendar count down going and were so excited to find Easter eggs. What is it about those plastic eggs? I think if they would have been empty inside you would have had just as much fun looking for them. You were also confused/concerned about the fact that we would be in WI visiting family for Easter. Here is a recap of your thinking on our way back to MN:
4.5yo - I can't wait to get home and look for eggs from the Easter Bunny.
Me - There won't be any. The Easter Bunny knew we would be at GK's and Grandpa Rick's and Grandma Mary's for Easter. There were eggs and baskets there.
4.5yo - How does he know?
Me - I wrote him a letter and told him.
4.5yo - We can still check when we get home.
When we get home...
4.5yo - Yup, no eggs here. Where will we be next week for Easter?
Me - You mean next year for Easter?
4.5yo - Yes
Me - We will be here.
4.5yo - Let's write the Easter Bunny a letter now so he knows we will be here. Or does the Easter Bunny go on vacation right after Easter?
Me - Yup.
4.5yo - Ok, then we should write him a letter tomorrow.
Too funny, right?
Love you E,
Mommy
