This Sunday, we had a visit from the Easter Bunny. As we explained it to our daughter, we were in Singapore when the Easter Bunny made his annual rounds, so we missed him. Mommy and daddy sent him an email asking him to come back this weekend.
Our daughter loves to hunt for and find things. She started doing this around 18 months old at the birthday party for the son of one of my colleagues. On Sunday morning, when she awoke, there was a small egg in her doorway, another one at the base of the stairs leading up to our bedroom, and one on the stairs. We wanted her to come and wake us up before she found all the others....it worked....at 6:30 AM. She had a blast searching for all the eggs and finding the candy and barrettes inside. Our son even got into the act, though he wasn't quite sure what to make of all the activity.
After the Easter morning, and my visit to the driving range where I learned my 7-iron has a hook, and my 3 iron has a cement block tied to it, my daughter and I built a dog house using a cardboard box. I saw her using the box earlier in the week as a house, and it gave me an idea. Construction was pretty easy:
Step 1: Close one end of the box, and cut out the top two flaps, leaving the bottom two flaps as the floor.
Step 2: Fold two flaps on the top of the box towards each other, using one of the flaps you cut from the bottom as a roof.
Step 3: Tape everything together
Step 4: Cut a hole in one side to act as the door.
Step 5: Paper mache everything so it has a solid, smooth structure.
Step 6: Paint it.
We had a blast doing it.
