Yesterday, Leeland died Easter eggs for the 1st time! And come to think of it, it's Daniel and I's first time dying Easter eggs together as well. We waited until close to bath time to do it because we knew there was a big chance it could get messy. We also put a disposable diaper on him, and no other clothes (not risking dying one of my fancy cloth dipes. Haha!) And of course, we kept everything outdoors on our balcony. Leeland had a lot of fun! He liked to dip the eggs in all of the colors, making some new interesting colors-- we thankfully only had 1 egg turn out brown. And he also insisted that the eggs, be in dye at ALL times, when Daniel and I would declare one finished and put it back in the carton, he would pick it back out and throw it in another color. It was a lot of fun! See here:

First Easter Egg Hunt.

We recently purchased a family membership to the local Children's Museum. It's a birthday present for Leeland a little early, and a present for Mommy too because letting him run some energy out there keeps Mommy somewhat sane since Hayden was born. Mondays are "members only Monday" and they always offer little events along with a special weekly sing and dance time. Yesterday, they had an Easter egg hunt. I picked up some Easter eggs a couple weeks ago for Leeland in hopes of teaching him what a hunt is all about-- he just enjoys opening and closing them. With that said, the hunt yesterday was fun, but he didn't last long. We found about 7 eggs and then got distracted with some Tonka trucks and called it quits. There were special eggs marked with a heart or a star though, and if you found one, you got a prize. One of the 7 eggs he found, was a star egg and he got a Dr. Seuss Horton stuffed animal.
