Happy Easter! Graham loved digging through his Easter basket (thanks to Nana and Grammy for your contributions to it!), eating his jelly beans, and looking for eggs at our local church. He also said a dog noise ("woof woof") for the first time while walking home from the egg hunt.

Graham practiced for tomorrow's big egg hunt by carrying around his Easter basket and a couple eggs. Thanks Grammy for the beautiful basket!

Huge new word/phrase today: "all done"!!!! Graham declared he was "all done" with breakfast this morning instead of his usual signal of hurling of food on the ground. Let's hope he starts using this one consistently.

In honor of Daddy playing hooky from work today, Graham had a record-breaking night of sleep--14 hours! From 7:30 pm - 9:30 am! Knock on wood, Graham has been on a really amazing sleep schedule since early March: we've been limiting his naps to about 90 minutes each and this seems to have encouraged him to sleep later in the morning. He's been waking up at 7:30 - 8 consistently, which is a huge improvement from the sub-6 am wake-ups he was having when we let him take 2 or 3 hour naps.

Graham spent several happy hours at Pier 6 this afternoon, where he tried out a medium kid swing and rode the choochoo train at the sandbox. He then broke my heart by waving a sweet goodbye when I put him down in his crib and said good night to him.

Graham climbed around the playground today before having all his friends over for playgroup. Normally, he loves having his buddies over but today he seemed a little distressed to be sharing his toys. He did enjoy playing a strange game of alternating resting on the pillow pet with Rowan, though. He cheered up once there was just one kid left and played catch with me.
