Baby's First Easter

I think one of the best parts of parenthood is watching your child discover and enjoy all the little holidays, treasures, and treats that we so worshipped when we were young.  It's almost like rediscovering those things all over again.  I used to dream about his first Christmas, taking him to Disney World for the first time, and the first time he gets to eat Del's Freeze.  Today I got to watch him enjoy his first Easter (although he is too young for eggs and chocolate, so it's not quite the same, but the idea is what matters).

Yesterday, we took Nashie to Viera to meet the Easter Bunny.  He was such a good boy...just sat there all calmly while Mama took the picture.  He didn't smile or anything, but it's still priceless.

This morning, we helped him open up his Easter basket, which was filled with little toys and an animal touch book.  Daddy read him the card and showed him where to touch in the book to feel the animals' soft fur.

Then today, we went up to Joe's parents' house to spend the day with them.  He played, we went in the pool (even though we forgot our swimmies), had margaritas and dinner, then headed home for our bath and bedtime.

I need a nap, Mama.
