Holden's cousins were out of school last week for spring break so we joined in on the fun and went to a jump house, the zoo and played at the park several times. Holden loves the zoo and really loves the park. He likes to swing, play on the
play set and dig in the sand. He tries so hard to keep up with his cousins and does a great job. They are always right there to help him when he needs it. When we were at the jump house a little boy we didn't know took one of Holden's toys...Kellen looked at the boy and said "that's Holden's!" He then proceeded to grab it back and give it to Holden...so needless to say, Holden is always taken care of by his cousins. =) Holden has started counting and can count to five and can almost make it to ten. He is also starting to recognize letters. Holden has never had a favorite blanket or stuffed animal, but this week he has really taken to one of his
teddy bears. It's so sweet to watch him sleep with it...what an amazing little boy, we are blessed to have him!!
Yesterday was Holden's first time dying Easter eggs! I read about a great way for toddlers to dye eggs without making a huge mess...use a wire whisk with the egg inside (see picture above). It worked great and allowed him and Kellen to participate like big boys! We have also been working on a very cute treat for his MDO Easter party on Thursday...I'll post pics of this treat next time. Sunday was a fun day at church, the children celebrated palm Sunday by waving the palms...It was my Sunday to work with the children so I had plenty of palms for Holden to play with after church. All week he has taken a palm leaf everywhere we go, it's so cute!! We played at the park today after MDO and tomorrow we are going to the zoo again. The weather is great here so we are kicking-up the outside activities.
