Visit with the Easter Bunny and Making Easter Eggs

Normally we go to the Hartville Marketplace on the day before Easter to see the Bunny and get the kids' photo taken. So we did that this morning but he wasn't there this year! So, we had to take them to the mall this year. Poor Lacy was not happy.

We also took Lacy and Dillon to the doctor's today. They are both really sick AGAIN. They both have ear infections. In fact, the doctor referred Lacy to a Nose and Throat specialist since she's had 4 ear infections since January. Dillon has had 4 since October. Fortunately, Lily had a cold but was able to fight it off herself. She's never had an ear infection. Hopefully they all feel good in the morning to hunt for eggs and enjoy Easter :)

Dillon's First Dentist Appointment

On Wednesday I took Dillon to the dentist for the first time. I noticed he had dark spots on his two front teeth. Sure enough, he has two cavities on both front teeth :(  I feel like a bad mother...but we do brush his teeth every day. Nana has also been brushing them 1-2 times a day too. The dentist thinks it's because he drinks juice through a straw, probably right through his two front teeth! He has referred me/him to a pediatric dentist for treatment. It will probably involve sedation of some sort since cooperation with Dillon is not likely.

Dillon did fine with this hygienist but wanted nothing to do with the chair once the dentist came in. I took Lily with me so she could show him how to do things. It definitely worked. She sat in the chair first and opened her mouth for the dentist first. She's a great big sister :)

Early Spring and Easter Fun

 Someday I can use these to embarrass him!

 Of course, Lily playing Ponies

 Lacy's faces - so cute! She's talking a lot more now too - she says "down" when she wants out of her highchair or put down when you are holding her. She says juice, ut-oh, Mama, Dada, Nana, bye bye, hi, apples and nigh nite. And she gives the best kissers. Not walking yet, but she's coming really really close.

 Yesterday Megan and Brent invited us to an Easter event at their church. We dressed the kids up. Had a hard time getting a good photo with all of them smiling. I'll have to try again next week.

 When we got to the event, we changed Lily out of her dress so she could play in the bouncy houses. Her and Dillon had a blast.

Here's a video of them bouncing.

 There wasn't much for babies to do. It was loud inside and a little overwhelmed for Lacy (& even Dillon). She was content sucking her thumb in the stroller for most of the time we were there.

 Another bouncy house. This one you climbed through. They did this one 5 or so times.

 They had fun hanging out with Luke

 Waiting in line for the bouncy house.

 Lily hunting for eggs. They did the egg hunts by age group. We were a little late to the 2-3 year olds so Dillon didn't find any eggs. A sweet boy saw he didn't have any, though, and gave him one.

 Decorating cookies

 Juice break. We had to change Lacy out of her dress, too, because she peed on me. Luckily you couldn't tell with the shirt I had on.

 Eating their cookies.

 Making bracelets

After the event, we went to Hattie's Cafe with Megan, Brent, Luke and some of their other friends. Our kids had fun playing with and eating lunch with the other kids. It was a fun day. Next weekend, we'll go see the Easter Bunny and color Easter eggs :)

More from Dillon's Birthday

Blogger has changed its editing tool. I think I like it, but I just need time to get used to it. I accidentally loaded these photos in the wrong order...owell. At least they are posted.

Kids all playing ponies. Dillon loves Apple Jack and Pinkie Pie. No worries - Lily plays cars and Thomas with Dillon too.

Big boy underwear!!! Potty training has begun. No real success yet, but at least we're on our way.



 Dillon opening his present from Mimi and Grandpa. 

Dinner at Longhorn with Nana and Papa!

 They sung to him and brought him a huge sundae.

 He took one bite and cried :( Not sure if the fudge was hot or he just didn't want it.

 Lacy and Lily ate some, though.

Cute videos - The first one is Dillon saying the alphabet. The last two are Lacy talking.
