Happy Easter!

We spent a week in Palm Springs with sisters, cousins, and aunts for Spring Break.

Rye had his first M&Ms, which he calls "E's," and jelly beans.

Reading magazines

 Swim Time

 Even swim time can look like truck time, with the right gear.

Sticker Time

Did I mention swim time?

Light table play

Top window

Rye loved a rare ride in Daddy's car, which has a "top window."

You think they're related?

Mommy, age 2 or so.   Rye, age 3.5.

Both in need of haircuts.

Bear Pancakes

When Rye sees this li'l doggie, he knows that Bear Pancakes await. He thinks he looks like a giant Bear Pancake.

This Bear Pancake looked more like a muppet or a monkey, but Rye didn't seem to mind. No pictures, please, Mommy.

Sticker shock

Rye loves sticker books, and this mega model had him day dreaming. 

It promoted some name-brand toys, so we left it at the store. It's a bummer that there aren't more "generic" books and products these days (e.g. just cars and trucks, rather than Disney Cars the Movie cars with eyes and mouths...or just trains rather than Thomas the Tank Engine trains with eyes and faces), though if you hunt around, you can find them. We love Usborne and DK and Storytime Stickers...but this store doesn't sell them!

Art Class

Still loving art class!
