I know Easter was several days ago, but I've just now had time to deal with the pictures I took. For some reason, although I took about 97 shots of Dessa in her Easter finery with her Easter basket... only one was really decent.  The rest sort of look like this:  Dessa had a great time on Easter, and was visited by the Easter Bunny several times over. The Bunny Man brought the Elmo basket at our house, complete with two books. Nana found a white bunny plushie with matching slippers that Dessa won't be able to wear until she's about 4, but cute all the same. Auntie AC brought a Tinkerbell basket with a talking book and a toy pig that appears to have epileptic seizures when you push his nose. It's odd, but Dess laughs at it uproariously which is the important thing. Auntie Bean came up with a blue bunny that sings a very loud Easter version of Buster Poindexter's "Hot Hot Hot" and also has an off switch, thank the Lord. It seems like when I was a kid only a few toys made noise and now that I'm a parent they all do, but my memory might be a bit off. Anyway, it was Grandma and Cousin Z who made the big splash with this toy:  Dess has gotten to the point where she wants to stand up all the time but she doesn't quite have the coordination to do it on her own so she has to lean on things. That could include furniture, people, toys... hell, she'd lean on the cats if they'd just stand still long enough. This toy has locks on the wheels so it doesn't take off without the baby when she leans on it, though of course we stay behind her at all times because she could tip the thing over and has, on occasion, attempted to. The kid is fascinated with the undersides of things and flips everything over to have a good look. I worry about this tendency of hers when she hits high school but I guess we'll have had "The Talk" before then and I will have to emphasize the importance of not flipping any of the boys over to check them out. We'll just have to keep her in interesting toys until that day comes. That's my baby, standing all on her own. Excuse me, I have to go cry a little, now. |
