Easter weekend

We had an egg hunt this morning b/c tomorrow we will be a Auntie Bev and Uncle Ian's overnight tonight. The Easter bunny brought Callum a junior sleeping bag and for Lucas, a Nerf soccer ball. Callum was very excited. Lucas was still asleep for most of it. They were both on little chocolate highs this morning.

It's been sunny for the past couple of days and my Alder allergy has hit a peak that I have never experienced before. Even one extra strength Claritin isn't working.

Lucas is now walking full time and trying to run. He sticks his chest out and still has his arms outstretched. He is a the peak of his separation anxiety from just me. He is happy until he sees me and then it's all over.

He is using his spoon mostly with his left hand. He is blowing kisses and says "ball", "up", and "bye-bye". He uses "mama" and "dada" but think the "mama" is for milk, food or mine. "Dada" is for Colin mostly but dogs as well. He has cut both 1st molars on the bottom and has his hand rammed in his mouth once again so think the tops are on their way. He can also open door handles now and the bathroom doors are the most interesting as the toilet and paper rolls are in there. Have started using the child proof latches again. Unfortunately, we can't set them everywhere as Callum has to get in to use the toilet.

Callum is learning his letters and knows quite a lot of them now. He can write the letters C, J and O. His is still into dinosaurs and loves to colour them. I printed out a bunch of colouring pages for him and he loves that. I got him a dry erase book that teaches to draw letters. He calls it his 'homework' and will work on it for ever. The first time he was using it, I went over to ask him how he was doing and he looks up, rubs neck and says "ooh my neck is sore". He was concentrating so hard on tracing letters that he strained his neck!

Callum has been going through a phase of 'I don't like anything'. He has been going to bed hardly having eaten his dinner. Hope this passes soon.

Happy Easter everyone!
