This blog is a little late, but still worthy of posting. :) John had his first easter egg hunt at school (well, the first one that he could understand what he was doing :)). He was really excited when I talked to him about the easter egg hunt and what he would be doing. When it was time to go hunt eggs, we went outside and they had the eggs scattered everywhere. Most of the kids just walked around staring at the eggs and their easter bags and had no idea what to do. John ran up to an egg, picked it up, and then was very entertained by shaking it and hearing the candy inside bounce around. I had to tell him to go pick up more eggs instead of just settling on one little egg. :) He then proceeded to start picking up eggs, and once he realized the purpose of the egg hunt, he was on fire. He went around picking up eggs and putting them in his basket as quick as he could. Some of the kids would be standing right by eggs and not picking them up , so John would casually walk by and snag the egg...that's my boy! When they ran out of eggs, he looked at me and said "more?" It was so cute!!! His first egg hunt was a huge success. I had a great video of the egg hunt, but for some reason, my camera won't download the file...it has downloaded everything else from that day, so not sure what the problem was, but hopefully I can post the video soon. This picture was John starting to cry because he didn't understand that the egg hunt was outside, and they were rounding up all the kids to go outside..he wanted to do the mysterious easter egg hunt thingy mommy had been talking about, but instead, they were rounding them up to go outside. Once I explained to him what was going on, he was happy as a lark and had a great time...but I still thought this picture was precious. :)

Oh what a frowny face! That is just precious. I'm glad he was okay with the outside Easter Egg hunt - whew. Toddler expectations- you just never know. But that face: I just love it! It makes me realize that catching the non-smiling pictures can sometimes make for the BEST pictures!
