Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Egg Hunt, a set on Flickr.

This past weekend I invited a bunch of friends with children near little man's age to participate in an Easter Egg Hunt. It was supposed to be outside but the weather refused to cooperate so we made as much open space in the living room as possible and....it was a blast.

The kids were super excited to grab the eggs and see what was inside. And the balloons inside some of the eggs? They were a HUGE hit. Little man is still playing with them very enthusiastically...two days later.

I love celebrating holidays with my kidlet. He makes everything so much more exciting. I'm glad I had enough friends willing to participate in this activity. An Easter Egg Hunt for one just isn't as fun. :)

Little man LOVES to talk on the phone. Not for real, just with a play phone...or computer mouse...or book...whatever is handy.

Today his daddy got a phone call when he got home from work. Little man quickly got a phone of his own (Mr. Potato Head's hat) and began mimicking his dad. He followed him around the house (daddy tends to walk a lot when he's on the phone) and copied as much of the conversation as he could. It was a lot of fun to watch and it wasn't until the end that I realized, "I should be recording this!"  I didn't catch much but it was so funny!

(Curse Blogger for not letting me post the video!)

The remainder of the afternoon was spent taking turns talking on little man's "phone".  I love this kid so much!

I was going to be so awesome and update all about how much we've been enjoying the sunshine and how I was a great mom and we made bird feeders and it was so cool and today while I was at work little man and his dad got to watch the birds eat the seeds we put out....but I couldn't get flickr to work and load my pictures.  So instead you get a hilarious video of my son playing with money.

By the way...what I didn't get on video?  My clever little man counting to 5!!!

Little man is speaking up a storm these days.  He repeats EVERYTHING you say, which can be really funny at times.  Sometimes his daddy says stuff just so he can hear it repeated in our darling son's voice.  He still speaks a lot of non-sense though.  When he gets really excited he will run up to you and just rattle off...well, baby talk....for several minutes before you can find a real word and figure out what he's trying to tell you.  I'm smitten.

Here's a video of a silly little man moment...talking non-sense into the back of his dump truck.
