Happy (Belated) Easter!


Audrey had a great second Easter. She enjoyed an Easter egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa P's and got to see her great-grandmas, Aunt Amanda, Uncle Andy, and beloved cousin Heather. I don't think Audrey has been quiet since she saw Heather. Jibber jabber since the weekend. She always finds Heather so intriguing! We are recovering from the weekend, and Audrey is getting back into her routine. The car ride back was uneventful but Audrey doesn't like to sleep much in the car these days. Trying to keep her entertained can be a challenge since she'd rather be toddling around. While I was driving, I hear the following with Eric in the back seat trying to get some sleep:
E: Audrey, let's play the Quiet Game. The first to make a noise loses.
Eric closes his eyes. Quiet for a nanosecond.
A: AAAGHHGH!!
E: You lose. Let's play again.
And repeat.
I hear him congratulate her for getting the correct shapes in her shape sorter. He's doing this with his eyes closed, telling her to keep trying when he hears she's struggling, and congratulating her when he hears the shape hit the inside of the bucket. It was harder for him to read to her with his eyes closed...
