Easter 2009

Today I took Corbin to the Dinosaur Park for the annual Easter egg hunt. This year Corbin was able to go around and gather eggs by himself although he still wasn't overly interested in the eggs themselves. Instead, he found it much more enjoyable to run as fast as he could and step on as many eggs as possible.... cuz they make such a fun noise when you break them!!!

Once he had gathered his 5 egg limit, I followed him around the park as he discovered all the neat things to look at and play with. He could see all the kids going down the big slides and decided that he wanted to give it a try...so all by himself...he climbed all the stairs as I waited patiently at the bottom of the slide. After some time I finally saw his little head pop up at the top and he walked slowly to the edge of the slide. After watching a few kids go down he turned around on his stomach and slid down. He was so proud of himself and quickly ran around to do it again. After a few times going down on his stomach he decided to go down like the big kids and he sat on his bum and away he went.

It was finally time to go so we walked through the museum to leave so that we could pick up our season pass at the front desk. As we were walking, Corbin notice this area where they had large life sized dinosaurs that were making noises and moving around. I was sure that they were going to freighten him so I stayed close to "protect" him. To my surprise...he was utterly amazed by them and stood at the fence and watched them intently going back and forth along the fence to get a better look at them. Finally he decided just to sit on the floor and make himself comfortable as he watched in awe.

I can honestly say that it was one of the funnest times that I have had with him so far. We had a great time playing and hanging out together. And as sad as it is to see my baby grow up and become a little boy, it was so much fun to watch him grow and learn new things!
