Easter Egg Fun

Yesterday, after the excitement of the helicopter and a nice long nap by Clara, I thought it would be fun for Clara to dye Easter eggs for the first time. She is getting more coordinated and able to focus on one activity, if it moves along. Here's a breakdown of the whole experience...

I got the eggs boiled and everything set up while Clara was sleeping.


Clara woke up from her nap and was excited and eager to get going! Notice the bed head...


Clara dropped the color tablets in the water.


Waiting for the tablets to dissolve was tough for this impatient little one...


Time to drop the eggs in. It was definitely a good thing to have the towel underneath the bowls..Clara took the words 'drop the egg in' literally.

Wait and wait for the dye to cover all the eggs.


Take a big drink and wait some more...


Clara pokes her little finger in the dye and moves the egg around to get even color distribution :)

Take out the eggs and put them out to dry.

Add stickers.


Focus...

I didn't get any pictures of the final egg-celent lineup, but they were beautiful! Clara was not happy at all when I said they needed to go in the fridge and she asks about her eggs every time she passes by it. I let her have one this morning for breakfast and she seemed to like peeling and eating it. One down...eleven more to go. Um...can you say cholesterol overload??

Anyways, Happy Easter to everyone!
