Happy Easter!!

We call this one "Lily in Flight". After she *found* all her little foil covered eggs which Grampa had strategically placed at her eye-level throughout the condo, she put them one by one in a bowl in the living room. Then she had a brilliant idea! She ran them all into the kitchen so she could line them up in a neat little row....(see below)

Lily also found an Easter egg decorating kit!! We will save this one for some crafty and messy fun next year.

Our little Virgo lines up her eggs on the lip of the lower kitchen cabinets. A perfect place to access them if you are a tiny person, but a bit problematic for anyone wanting to open the cabinet door.

Lucky for us, she never did figure out that she could unwrap them and eat them. We will keep that secret for as long as we can :)

Spring Arrives! And so do Nana & Grampa Couper...

Spending the day at the park on the Easter long weekend. Saturday was the first sandal-wearing day. Freedom for our toes!

Mommy and Lily play with her ladybug soccer ball.

We try to distract her with other activities, but, ultimately, we end up at the park so Lily can play on the swings. We're not sure how she saw the swings from 200 yards away, but apparently she has very good eyesight.

Lily and mommy share a laugh.

Lily gets ready in the morning to go to daycare. She is very anxious to see her friends!

Nana and Great Grampa Archie found a giant turtle in Toronto and Nana brought it for Lily. Mr. Turtle quickly becomes one of her best friends.

She rolls around beside him (you know, kinda like a puppy does when it gets a new toy!)...

...She climbs on top of him...

...She drags him aroung....

...Puts him on her head...

...Drags him around some more...

...Lays down beside him...

...And, finally, sits on top of him so she can watch the quarter finals hockey game. Isn't that what best friends are for??

"I see you, daddy."

Nana tries to dress Lily-on-the-go. It is sometimes like trying to nail jello to a wall.

Lily plays horsey with Grampa Jim.

"Whee!""

Even though Mr. Turtle has arrived in the family, Eeyore is still her favourite. She decides to carry him around in her t-shirt. So she could have her hands-free? So she could keep him warm? The sock on his head would imply the latter. Or perhaps, it is just a fashion statement.

It is definitely easier to run when you have both hands, free, though!
