Happy Easter!  Graham was too busy eating the contents of his Easter basket to smile for a picture, but he enjoyed his presents.  Special thanks to Nana and Grammy for helping to fill it!  Graham's favorites are the Peter Rabbit book from Nana and the bunnies from Grammy.  After opening his Easter basket and hunting for eggs, Graham snuggled up to watch a few minutes of "The Sound of Music," Will's Easter present to me.  Graham liked "How to Solve a Problem like Maria."

Graham happily filled all 2 dozen of the eggs we brought to our playgroup Easter Egg Hunt this morning and then hunted for eggs with his buddies at a local playground.  His basket is holding up fine despite a week of very heavy use--thanks Grammy!

Graham continues to hone his egg hunting skills.

Graham and Sam are making the best of the still-lion-y March weather.

Graham seems to know that his baby brother's birth day is coming up.  While in the stroller today, I listened to him having the following discussion with himself: "Go to baby brother party.  Sing happy to you.  Graham eat cake."  So, we plan to introduce Graham to his baby brother by singing the birthday song and eating cake.  Works for everyone!

Graham had a big day today.  First, Daddy took him to Families First for the Easter celebration, where he wore a bunny headband, played with Noah, and apparently took home the prize for best egg collector at the egg hunt.  Then, he went to Norah's animal-themed birthday party, which featured puppets, giant blow-up animals, and a "safari hunt" through the Kidville gym.

Claudine and I took Graham and Eliana to the new playground at the Brooklyn Bridge Park this morning, but they just wanted to walk the "balance beam" by the water.  Graham is carrying Duckie, his rubber duck, and kept wanting to throw him into the East River for a swim.

Bennett, Eliana, and Graham before art class.  Graham loves his friends and if I ask him if he wants to go play with his friends, he asks "who dat friends?" (aka, which friends--he is not great with picking the correct pronoun) and then gives me his thoughts on whether he wants to play with whoever we are going to see.  He always wants to play with B & E, who are always up for a chase!
