Minnie's First Easter Egg Hunt

Minnie enjoyed all the perks of Easter like an official kid this year instead of a baby, including her first egg hunt. She was way more enthusiastic about it than I expected and caught on to the whole concept right away. She excitedly zipped around the yard finding the eggs, squealing and exclaiming, "Wow"! My idea of hiding tiny cats in the eggs worked perfectly and she was as amazed as I envisioned her being, speaking sweetly to each one as it emerged from the egg. She also really enjoyed looking through her little basket and said, "Ta-da," as she pulled each item out. Holidays are so much more fun now that Minnie is here! Everything is, really.

Tutu, Whoo-hoo!

Somebody's enjoying the whole girly tutu thing quite a bit. She's had it on for hours. Now all she needs is a magic wand and a dressed up Princess Cousin Kiki and she'll be set. 

Easter Party at the Preschool

Minnie is getting well aquainted with the preschool since we go for all the parties. It makes me a little sad how well she blends in with the "big kids". The next step before she can go like a real student is potty training, oof! I sat her on the toilet before bathtime the other night and she acted like it was some kind of joke! The highlight of the party was watching her break up horseplay between some of the older boy siblings that were visiting the school since big school was on break. She ran towards them yelling, "No! No! No!" and successfully dispersed them. Fearless little lass! I've started putting together treats for her Easter basket, it's so exciting for me! One of my favorite parts of being a parent is making magic for her.

Turn Back Time

Since my older sister started a blog, I figured I'd do the same in true younger sister fashion. I'm still trying to figure out the format and how to customize he design and all of that is fairly challenging from a phone, so progress may be slow for a bit. I'd be shocked if anyone besides my sister read this anyways! She has requested daily Minnie posts, and I shall faithfully try my best, and probably add anything else I find dreamy or exciting.

Without further ado, I present my Minnie musing of the day!

Minnie in Uncle Stephen's Power Wagon on St. Patty's day. Why are vintage cars so awesome to just hang out in? I loved doing the same thing in Stephen's VW Bug as a kid.

And this I just have to throw in here because this is what she looked like one year and three days ago. She is growing and changing so fast it is disorienting. Cher was right, "if I could turn back time..."

For real Cher.
