| Dyeing eggs for the Easter Bunny |
 |
| I've been decorating Evie's basket for a few weeks now. I plan to add an animal or two each year. Behind it is carrot we left for the Easter Bunny. Evie was pretty impressed the next morning to find evidence that he'd nibbled on it! |

Evie had another big event on Sunday--she slept in her new toddler bed! The first night was a little rocky with two lengthy wake-ups, but she's been sleeping like a pro ever since. That is, until I wrote that sentence. I can now hear the unmistakeable sounds of a little girl pulling toys out of her closet when she should be napping. Well, at least I got one good night out of her...

| Thank you, Craigslist! |
She can now count to thirteen! Not on command, but on the stairs she will count to "dirteen", then repeat "poteen, yiteen, poteen, yiteen." I have no idea where she learned this! She put her skills to work yesterday when she requested "yiteen" crackers.
Every night we read books in the rocking chair and always finish with Goodnight Moon. That's Evie's cue that it's time for bed, and she wiggles her way through the story, trying to find a good snuggling position for when I rock her. She apparently does listen because last night she said, "E read it!" and opened the book to the last page and said "Goonight noise everywhere." Clever girl!
Exchange at Mellow Mushroom the other night:
M- "Evie, do you know I love you?"
E - "Buh boy, Mama." (pats my head and leans in for a kiss)
She does that sort of thing a lot. I'll be so sad when she stops calling me a good/bad boy!
Our flight leaves Saturday at 6am for Denver. Yikes. It will be a grueling day of travel with a long flight followed by a long drive, but hopefully it will be better than our last trip out west when Evie refused to sleep for 36 hours!
