Yesterday was Easter. We have been looking forward to this for over a month now. We went overboard on candy and toys. We were just so excited to celebrate this holiday with Eliza. This is the first holiday that she has understood and she was so excited for the Easter Bunny to bring candy and toys! Boy will Christmas be something next year!
We locked the gate at the top of the stairs so she would not come down. I asked her to look in the front room and see if the Easter Bunny came. "Nope." she replied. I told her to look again. "He did come!" she yelled. She had a grand time going through her basket looking at all the toys and candy. We had a little Easter egg hunt in the family room. Then the good times began. She was eating so much candy. We took the candy away from her but managed to find it and continue her eating on slot.
Later we went to the Gardner's for dinner. Eliza took all the candy from her cousins and ate it too! I kept getting after her and telling her no more, but she kept eating. She was wound up all night and it was hard getting her out of their house without a nice little temper tantrum.
When we got home and got her to bed the rest of the candy was put away for good. Until Halloween I guess.
