Happy Easter to Everyone!

This year's Easter was a hoot! We drove to Aunt Molly's house for the Egg Hunt and potluck and like any family gathering, we split our pants by eating so much. What's a really good plan is making sure Timothy just eats from my plate versus getting a separate heaping pile of food on his own plate. His appetite is back and since he lost about a pound and a half from being sick for the last eight weeks, right after his second DTaP shot in his life because of complications after the first.. His shots were Feb 16Th and 19Th and either the DTaP shot specifically is causing issues or he just has a hard time with his immune system after such high doses of vaccines.

Anyhow, we enjoyed Saturday by watching friends at a local kayak competition and ran around a vast property close to the river with a park like setting. We did have an injury from a tricycle accident, however, Timothy came out with a bit of bruising on his foot, then went back to running around the yard with two other little boys I babysat in order to get boaters on the river together.

All in all, he's such a little cutie. He is starting to communicate more each day and I try to get him to express anger in any way other than hitting and biting, which I correlate with the time around other daycare kids.. Timothy also is such a caring little person, affectionate and sweet as well, it's puncuated with occassional outbursts of frustration like anything else. Daycare has it's benefits... This particular daycare has a curriculum and so far, he is learning more than I could cram in after I get home from work so I feel easier about parting with money every month now I can reap the benefits of Timothy learning more than I can teach.

Happy East everyone and have a wonderful spring!!
