The Saturday before Easter we went over to Michelle's to decorate then hunt for eggs with some little friends. The day was beautiful and with six toddlers, pretty exciting and a little messy. In regards to the egg dying, Natalie said what I was thinking: "Well, maybe it will go better next year. They'll be older. But wait, isn't that what we said last year?"

Joshua did not want to hunt on the porch with the littler girls. But the toddlers had already scooped up all the eggs in the yard by the time Joshua got down there. I looked over and saw kind-hearted Natalie tossing down eggs to Joshua. He would turn and look in the grass, pick up the couple of eggs he saw, then turn back to his benefactor, signing please, please. (Unfortunately his vocalization of this polite word sounds like "
Maaa,
Maaa,
Maa." So it's kind of more annoying than his just not saying please.)
