Easter 2013

I just wanted to share some pictures of Liam from Easter. It was a pretty typical Sunday for us. We went to church (we even got there slightly less late than we usually do), and Liam hung out with his pals in the nursery. After the service, we let him walk around some, and he went straight for stairs.

But before we went to church, Liam received his Easter goodies from us when he woke up. His response was, "Cool. Wow!" He got some of his favorite things including colors, coloring books, and blocks. The blocks are actually from his great-grandparents because they were bought with money they sent Liam in his Easter card. I got him some Color Wonder markers and paper in hopes he would forget (at least temporarily) about regular markers. It has worked, but he doesn't love the Color Wonder ones. He keeps coloring on regular paper with them, and that obviously doesn't work! He also got a box of 24 crayons and some dollar store coloring books. He loves to color and draw, and he spent a lot of time yesterday doing both.

After his nap, Will took Liam outside with his new bucket and digging tools to play in the dirt. I know I've said it before, but he LOVES dirt. Will had to bring him in kicking and screaming from playing in it.

That was our Easter Sunday, pretty much. At bedtime, I told Liam the Easter story, but he's just too young to get it. Hopefully next year he will begin to learn all about it.

Eleanor checking out the goodies the night before

I hung up the Easter/Spring art we did this week: a mixed media collage and a shifty-eyed bunny

"Cool. Wow!"

Had to drop some eggs first

Then it was straight to coloring

Checking everything out

More coloring!

"Bocks"

Almost ready to leave for church

You can't really tell, but he was making his smoochy/smacky noises with his mouth

We couldn't get him to look at the camera at all!

He was looking towards the door!

Up the stairs we went

Trying to make Liam go in right direction

Sophisticated dirt playing

Happy boy!

Gotta inspect the dirt on his hands
