Hippity Hoppity Good Times

We had a wonderful Easter this year. It was especially fun now that Will is old enough to understand and enjoy the traditions a bit more. And we realized in combining my traditions with Keith's traditions, we had a very full plate for the weekend! On Saturday we attended the annual egg hunt at Chesapeake City Park. It was great. Will once again rode a pony, petted the rabbits, and hung out on the firetruck, which was his favorite. The line to meet the Easter Bunny was way too long for us so we had to pass on him...but we figured the real bunnies are a lot cuddlier anyway. Will even managed to collect a few pieces of candy during the big egg hunt, although I think the big kids got most of the treats. Before long he'll be the big kid trying to snatch candy from the little ones!

The fun continued on Sunday. The Easter bunny visited us overnight and left a big Easter basket of goodies for Will. He was pretty excited to see what was inside, although the candy was the biggest hit by far. That's all he's talked about for days. We also dyed Easter eggs, which was very messy but fun. Keith considers himself a egg-dying expert so he taught Will some of his mad skills. I wasn't much help in that area. We also held an Easter Egg hunt in our backyard on Sunday. Will collected his previously-dyed eggs along with some chocolate filled ones. He loved the whole process and was really excited every time he found an egg.

Will also got Easter goodies from so many family members. Thanks so everyone who thought of him during the holiday. He loved all his treats but especially got a laugh from the talking Donald Duck. Oh boy...he was laughing hysterically when he first opened it. Toddlers are so easy to entertain!

Besides Easter, everything else is going well. We've started the potty training process, which so far is going pretty well. I know it can be a long haul so I'm just trying to remain consistent and positive. So far I'm impressed with how well he's done. Fingers crossed that it contines! Daddy left on Monday for another trip to San Diego so we're just hanging out until he gets back. Luckily our weather's been lovely so we're outside a lot.
