The boys woke up this morning, like any other morning, but when Arlo was told that it was Easter morning, he hopped out of bed and ran to get his brother, calling out that it was time to see what the Easter Rabbit had left for them. Arlo really gets what is happening, and Otis picked up on it right away. It is amazing to see them over look treats hiding at eye level, once, twice, three times, or more. I think there might be eggs found for days to come...
Otis would not make use of his basket to collect eggs, and instead insisted on keeping them in his hands as he found more. Eventually he could not hold them all, and he agreed to keep them in a basket, but he knew this meant he could not eat them all, so there were some tears.
Yesterday the boys took part in an egg hunt in our local park. They loved roaming the park and finding hidden treats. Big brother took care of little brother, and made sure that he always had some to find, or put in his basket.
We may need to check Otis into the Betty Ford clinic, as he seems to have developed a taste for chocolate eggs, and boy is it tough to keep them from him. He is very...determined when he wants something. Luckily Easter comes only once a year, and we can make sure that the chocolate is gone, or out of site, very soon.
