Easter 2011

Finding his first Easter eggs!

Easter 2011

Playing with home made play dough again- and the rolling pin Grandma Angie and Grandpa Danny sent for Easter!

Such a big boy!

We hope your families had a blessed Easter! We spent a busy morning at church. We branched out for two services for the day (and will go to two services in the fall) and Rodney worked the sound table for both of them. I volunteered in the VIP room- a space for kids of volunteers to hang out during their second service if they're there for both. Of course Colin participated in the egg hunt after church! He didn't quite know what all the fuss was about until we pointed out the eggs! Once he saw those he knew exactly what to do! The morning did get really long for him, but he was a trooper (and the DVD player came in handy again!) We then spent a quiet afternoon and evening at home- ending the day with our traditional bunny cake.

In other news, Colin has been sleeping in his toddler bed! He does a great job sleeping in it at night, but we're still working on naps. We may have to put him back a couple times before he'll fall asleep, and sometimes we find books or puzzle pieces in bed with him, but he does well for the most part. Naps are a little more difficult. He usually ends up back in his crib- either because he gets up so many times we have to put him in the crib so he actually goes to sleep, or because he wakes up quickly after falling asleep and he needs more sleep than that. He does wake up earlier in the morning and we get this bright little face walking in our bedroom, books and stuffed animal in hand ready to go for the day! We were glad we left his crib up as well since he was sick last week. I was very busy cleaning up a lot of yucky stuff last week, but the stomach virus seems to have finally left Colin's system. He seemed to be fine for a couple days and the second day we went swimming for the first time this season. My friends at church were right- a "heated" pool (to 80 degrees) is cold! But, Colin loved it, as he does all of his time in water. I got my first and hopefully only sunburn of the season. :) We're looking forward to the end of the month and visits from family for Colin's 2nd birthday!
