Easter Sunday Bonnet

4/12/09

Sweet Grace,

You were such a little princess on Easter Sunday. We dressed you up and took you to church. You were all dolled up in your pink Easter bonnet with white ribbons. Your dress was pink silk at the top with a G embroidered on it, for your name, Grace. The bottom was layers of puffy tulle with pink flower petals inside. You wore pink tights and black patent leather shoes. You were such a beautiful baby, sweetheart.

The Easter bunny found you on your first Easter. You got a little talking stuffed froggy and a spinning toy that you push the top down on and all the ladybugs inside twirl around. You also got a pink dolly, and you are so sweet when you look at her and touch her. You fell asleep cuddled up with her today in the grocery store. . . You were a sight to see, so darling.

You gave me a little scare last night as you woke up coughing and laboring to breathe. I gave you a nebulizer treatment and rocked you back to sleep - this morning you had a slight fever, but by this evening you seemed to have shaken it.

Easter

Clayton - you were dressed up and looking very dapper this Easter in your Sear sucker suit, the same one you wore last Easter. You enjoyed the backyard Easter egg hunt. Your eyes lit up when you discovered four large eggs with Thomas the Train characters James and Spencer, and Jay Jay and the Jet Plane characters Big Jake, Tracy, Herky and Jay Jay. On Easter Sunday we went to church, and you got a basket from the Easter Bunny. Inside your basket you had Jay Jay books, and some small toys. Then, we went over to Daddy’s friend Dan S.’s house for an Easter Dinner. You have always loved reading bedtime stories, but your favorite story has changed.
You first loved Pat the Bunny, then Goodnight Moon, the Thomas and the Big Big Bridge, and your current favorite is The Little Engine that Could. The Little Engine that Could was Mommy’s favorite book too, along with Green Eggs and Ham. I feel so much warmth and joy when you curl your little body up on my lap to cuddle, and ask me to read to you. It is always sad when you ask for another and I have to say, “No, it is time for bed now.” I love you so much little angel boy!
