On Easter weekend, we went to an Easter egg hunt at our local park. It was outside. The weather was pretty nice. Sunny and around 50. I just carried Sydney in a wearable carrier. Austin had a basket and was excited to go get eggs. He found Easter eggs at school so he knew exactly what to do. The Easter Bunny arrived by a fire truck. Austin liked the fire truck too. When the egg hunt started, Austin went and found the eggs. It was so cute. We just let him do his thing. He got about a dozen eggs.
Austin is back in swim class so he goes swimming every Saturday morning too. Austin is a good swimmer. He is starting to use a water noodle. He likes it. It so neat to watch him. I have watched him swim now for a year and half and he has learned and grown so much. He is great at jumping in the pool. He does well with his kicks too.
On Easter Sunday, Brian hid some eggs outside. Austin went and found them. Austin really liked it because he put one egg on the basketball hoop so Austin got to climb on the ladder. Austin likes the ladder. Later in the day, Austin and Sydney got their Easter baskets. Austin got some stickers, yard gloves, and chocolate animal crackers. Sydney got some teething toys. Then Meemaw and Papa came over. They had Easter baskets for them too. They got a ton of stuff. Austin got a mickey mouse wagon that he loves. They got some cookies, a fire truck, gold fish crackers, and stamps. Sydney got more baby toys to put in her mouth and a cute pink bunny. They had a really good Easter.
Sydney is crawling backwards but not forwards. She gets herself stuck under things (the bed, the couch, etc) and she can't figure out how to move forwards to escape. Instead her struggles take her further backwards and more stuck. It is kind of funny. I don't remember Austin ever really crawling backwards. Sydney loves to do it. She is starting to eat some baby food. Nothing significant yet. We have tried giving her baby bottles to play with while eating along with spoons. Distraction does help. Also she does like to be in control so finger foods work better than forcing her to eat baby food.
My work schedule has changed. I now work every other Wednesday, then every Thursday and Friday. It is not ideal but we are making it work. On my three day weeks, I am tired. I have so much house work to catch up on after working that stretch - lots of laundry and cleaning up. I am amazed how much housework there is when I have a baby and toddler in the house. Austin is always getting into something and making a mess. Sydney has baby bottles that need cleaned and she has lots of poopy explosions so I have to wash them to ensure no stains stay. She usually goes though 2-3 outfits a day.
We are excited for spring to be here so we can spend more time outside. We love it outside and our evening walks. We have missed them. Hopefully the weather will be get and stay nice soon.
