Easter

This morning we crept into Declan's room with a new Easter basket. We told him that the Easter Bunny had come last night and there was a trail of eggs for him. 

He was really excited when he saw them but he didn't get right away that he should pick them up. He was surprised by them all but he'd pass two, pick one up, pass three, then come back and grab another. Once he rounded the last corner and saw the eggs, chocolate bunny and train at the end of the trail he ran right to them.

So I think he liked it.

This of course resulted in Declan starting his breakfast with a chocolate egg-not great but it's Easter.

Later in the morning we all headed out to meet Grandma and Poppa for Easter Brunch. Declan was good for so long. He ate some muffin and some French fries. Not interested in much else but he was good. After we'd all finished eating Declan walked along with Grandma and collected some more chocolate eggs. He was so excited and possessive, wouldn't set them down. An employee brought Declan a cup he could carry the eggs in so they wouldn't all melt in his fingers. Then Declan tripped and eggs went flying. Same employee cake back with a cup and lid. Much better, until he took he kid off, spilled eggs everywhere again, then I collected them all up and told Declan that they were going away for a bit, crying ensued and Brunch was over.

He had been a good boy for over 2 hours so I'm proud of him.

After a nice long nap in the afternoon Declan got to play the rest of the day with his trains. He's a regular little boy. Tomorrow we're going to the park to kick around a ball.
