That little girl seems to like the childhood trappings of Easter. By today, she was really good at hunting down the plastic eggs, and she knew how to convince her grandpa to open them and hand over the chocolate and jelly beans inside. We boiled regular eggs, and grandpa mixed up food coloring and vinegar dyes. Valerie wanted to watch the eggs dye the whole time, but once she understood how long 30 minutes was, she hopped off her kitchen chair and played other pursuits. (I explained to her that it would take as long to dye the eggs as it takes our favorite carpet cleaning YouTuber to complete one whole rug. She comprehended.)
The kids were a whole lot today. Not in a bad way, just in a wear the stuffing out of grandparents way. We had been told we would have a short day, but it ended up running an hour longer than usual. I've been sitting perfectly still since they left, wondering if it's bedtime yet. I'm finally ready to say yes, it is. Happy Easter, Passover, Ramadan, and whatever else we can think of worth celebrating, big or small.
