First Easter Egg Hunt

Emma didn't really understand what was going on, she just wanted to eat the egg she found. It was really hard to get it away from her and she was very unhappy to lose it. Luckily the goodies in the Easter basket distracted her from the loss.

Waiting for Aidan

We had the day off so we all got to go pick Aidan up from school. I think this is the first time Emma has ever sat nicely and looked at a book as opposed to tearing out the pages.

Cooking with Mommy

The kids and I cook every weekend. Aidan can be very helpful (as long as I don't mind pie crusts with dinosaur footprints) but Emma can be a menace. A small mixing bowl of cheerios and some spoons kept her occupied for about 45 minutes. Hopefully this trick will work again.

"flower" hair

Aidan is enjoying Em's new hairstyle. Mostly he likes bopping her on the head.

Sharing is a problem

 Aidan does not want to share anything with Emma. At all. Ever. It's causing some problems. Emma is pretty bossy and will yell at Aidan, he'll get upset and push her, she'll cry, he'll cry, Patrick or I will cry... It's a vicious circle.

The pictures below are not their standard operating procedure. Aidan was playing an iPad game and of course Emma wanted to play too.  Aidan moved to the corner of the couch and she followed.  Aidan curled up in a ball too block her view and Emma worked around that.  Nobody cried.

Love this expression

I didn't notice her expression until I moved the pics onto the computer.  I love it.
(Emma hasn't mastered the fork, she pretty much just likes banging it on the high chair tray.)
