Liam's First Easter

Liam's closing in on 11 months old, and I think it is a great age for his first Easter egg hunt. He likes to pick up items and put them in something else, so picking up plastic eggs and placing them in a basket is squarely in his current skill set.

Saturday, April 7th, was the annual Spring Fling at First Baptist. I've been to a couple of them before, as the preschool ministry assistant. This was my first with a child of my own. Most of the activities are geared for older kids, so he was an interested observer this year. We watched other kids petting rabbits, pigs, and ducks in the petting zoo area. We watched kids ride ponies. We watched kids decorate cookies and jump in bounce houses. Lots of fun things are in his future! But this year, we mainly came for the egg hunt, or more aptly, the "egg pick-up."

Liam enjoyed picking up the eggs and shaking them (everything gets shaken these days). He put a couple in his basket, but more so enjoyed just picking them up and getting to crawl on the grass. His eggs had cheerios, goldfish, and teddy grahams in them. I'm not going to lie, mama ate the teddy grahams and most of the goldfish. He also did a little bit of walking around in his sandals, his first time walking in shoes. There's a bit of a learning curve with that!

It was a great day to spend time outside, and it wore Liam out because he took a really long nap afterward.

The next day was Easter Sunday. We went to church, and then visited a nearby car dealership and went to Whole Foods. So pretty much a typical Sunday. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pics of him that day.

I'm looking forward to the day when Liam understands what Easter is all about!
