Della LOVES anticipation.
We've discovered that knowing the 'plan' helps her get through nap time and bed time
so we often talk about what we would like to do, or are going to do, the next day ... anticipation.
This morning she woke up extra early as we'd discussed Easter and what to expect.
This is her "you mean this is for me" face.
We had to pause and grab Huck before diving into the baskets.
Huck couldn't quite figure out the plastic eggs.
Lollipops for breakfast ... sure!
Dressed and On the hunt!
Huck was not convinced he needed a basket.
He'd make room for a new egg by simply setting down the old one.
I tried to explain the logic of a large volume egg transfer container
Della chose her own basket from Goodwill ...
she has fully grasped the concept of 'large volume'.
One egg in - one egg out - one egg in the mouth
Pink princess eggs ... Della's favorite!
In the weeds ... a dedicated egg hunter
I'm sure this picture will make me cry in a few years ... my babies are so big!
Classic big sister maneuver
stealing the eggs from Huck's basket
And then stealing his basket altogether
Opening the loot
Della also has Dedication
She sat and carefully opened every single egg
(it should be noted that her favorite YouTube shows are "Disney surprise egg".
Where grown people produce videos of themselves opening plastic eggs
filled with Disney toys, candy, and other marketable surprises.
She loves the anticipation.)
