Dying (& eating) Easter Eggs

Tonight was an adventure dying Easter eggs. Dylan wanted to do everything (and made sure I knew he knew what he was doing). We were about half-way finished when Dylan dropped an egg and it cracked. "Shoot!" He said..."I guess I'm gonna have to eat this egg 'cuz it's ruined now." Dyl proceeded with coloring eggs, all the while eating the egg he'd peeled. As soon as the first egg was gone..."Shoot...How did that happen? These eggs just keep 'crackin up' all the time," he declared. After the 3rd "dropped" egg I said, "Dyl, is your belly full of eggs yet?" Dylan looked at me with a very serious face and said, "Mom, I think we should just eat 'em all up so we won't have to worry if they crack." Can you tell Dylan likes eggs?

Singing Sensations!

I wanna give Dyl the opportunity to decide what he likes to do in life rather than force him to do what I want him to do...So we've been trying a few things out to see what he's interested in. We started with soccer, then t-ball, then swimming--The latest is Sunshine Generation, which is a singing/performing group. Dylan and his cousin, Chase, are the only boys in a group of about 15 kids...But I think that's the way Dylan likes it...He certainly loves to flirt with the girls! Their first performance was today at Wheeler Farm. We thought we'd be rained out but the weather cooperated and, I must say, the boys were absolutely marvelous!
