Our family had a good Easter weekend. We tried very hard to impress upon Natalie the fact that Easter is not just about Easter egg hunts and candy. I do believe that she does have an understanding of the real reason that we celebrate Easter. Hearing her enthusiastically state that Jesus is risen. He is risen indeed! is awesome. I love the fact that she'll sing I Know that My Redeemer Lives with us. Along with this understanding came a fun Easter morning with her 3 cousins finding eggs and her Easter basket. All 4 children were great in church afterwards.
A silly tradition that our family has after our dinner is an egg cracking contest. Last year, Natalie was the winner. This year, the title transferred to her cousin Ella.
Today, was a day to wind down from the fun we had with our family. Natalie and I spent the day at home working on potty training. There were quite a few successes along with a handful of accidents. It will be wonderful if we have many more successes this week with fewer accidents. I know she'll get it...let's just hope I can keep up with the laundry. :)
Tonight, Natalie came out of her room with a new line a little bit after I had put her to bed. She claimed that her room was spooky and scary. We had a short discussion about this and checked out what she thought was scary with the light on. I hope that this is the end of that stalling technique. We'll see...
