thank you easter bunny

We had a nice Easter weekend. Calvin and Molly visited on Saturday and we gave them a tour of Culpeper with lunch at It's About Thyme. It's a wonderful little European style cafe with fresh breads. Cole liked the fresh lemonade, and ate the peanut butter sandwich we brought for him.

Sunday, Bobby and Danielle came down to see us. We colored eggs--real and the Peeps variety. Bobby complained that he didn't want to do it, and then colored 4 eggs and a Peep. Cole loved his Easter basket. This was his first year with a basket, and I had a gift basket lady in town make it for me. It was mostly art supplies like stickers and color pencils, with a few treats. Cole ran around the basket pointing everything out while I opened it. He even shouted "Thank you Easter Bunny!" with genuine glee.

Cole's vocabulary is amazing now. He tells us whole stories about what he had for lunch or who the Wonder Pets saved. Wonder Pets is his new favorite show, and he reminds us of that daily. "Favorite" is a favorite word too. He'll pick up a toy and yell, "my favorite!" or drink chocolate milk and say "my favorite." He's very generous in that way.
