Been Busy

So the past few weeks things have so busy it seems like.  We had a wonderful Easter weekend, which we kicked off on Friday by taking Bo to the zoo.  He had so much fun and loved seeing the animals.  Every time we’d start walking up to a new animal he’d say “wooowwww” not even knowing what was coming up, but he knew it was something.  He had a great time making all the animal noises when he saw them.  I finally gave in and did the one thing I said I’d never do (okay so I actually have a list of things, but this one was one I never thought I’d do)…I put him on a leash!  Oh what a hypocrite I became…all I’m going to say is NEVER say never and for those of you who don’t have kids yet…well, you just wait ;)!  It was more of a backpack with a rope, regardless it was something to hang on to him with.  I’m so glad we did it, the zoo was packed the day we went…lots of field trips!  This way he was able to walk around and really see.  It lasted up to the very end of the visit, when he decided to throw a tantrum, fell on the ground kicking and screaming and broke the strap!  I literally had a man walk up, pull out his zoo map and say “Now what animal is this?”  Like most two year olds there just isn’t a lot you can do when they became completely irrational, so I just stood there and told him to let me know when he was done.  Oh the joys of having a two year old. 

Saturday before Easter we took Bo to an Easter Egg hunt at our neighbors church.  He had a blast hunting for eggs, but like before he knew there was candy in them so it was more of find the egg, look at the treat, and throw the egg away.  After that we came home and dyed Easter eggs which was also a lot of fun.  He had more fun throwing (literally) the eggs into the colored cups and watching it splash.  Once we were done he looked a lot like the Incredible Hulk.  Easter morning we woke up, went to the early service at church and came home to eat Easter dinner that I had made.  Later that night we went to my Aunt Amy’s house and had our second Easter dinner of the day!  LOTS of good food!  We had a wonderful weekend and loved spending all of it with daddy!
