I think we are 4 for 4 — on my toddlers heading into the egg hunt just a wee bit early.
But usually I have NayNay or Ka there to make it legal.
On our way out to the Dana Point Easter Egg Hunt, I spotted the “real Easter Bunny” eating grass.
I quickly turned the car around, and tried to catch him.
I had no such luck.
But Navy did!!!
With her bare hands, running and trapping alongside Scout, she caught him after about ten minutes.
I was so amazed, I let her keep him.
I mean…who else catches the REAL EASTER BUNNY the day before Easter?
(Right before class, Scout and Navy were “enjoying” a popsicle party.)
Poor Scout was totally sick as he gave his verbal biography book report.
We have been working on this for a long time, and Scout chose Houdini, read the book, we talked about it, he wrote it, and then went above and beyond to memorize it.
Although there wasn’t much pizzazz (he barely had a voice), he did a really great job and I was impressed.
But I was most impressed with him powering through it, even though he felt so crummy.
When my kids were little, I would say, “I love you”. Then they would say, “I love you more”. And I would say, “Impossible”.
Now days, as I put my kids to bed each night, they beat me to the punch and tell me they love me.
Then I tell them I love them more.
And they say, “Impossible”.

That is a full circle I love.
I bet you can’t guess how shoe shopping went with this little girl.
Let’s just say that these two balloons weren’t treats.
They were bribes.
