Hippity Hoppity Easter's on its Way




Bella had a fun packed day today. On Saturday mornings Bella has gym class. She started shorty after she turned one and has always enjoyed them. But here lately it's just been a daddy/daughter outing since my growing belly has been putting a strain on my back without the extra effort of tumbling with Bella. So when I accompanied them today, I was really surprised to see how much progress Bella has made. She gives Jeff, the instructor, several high fives during the greeting time, and jingles her wrist bells, and walks on the balance beam, and even hangs from the uneven bars. Once she sees we are pulling into the little gym parking lot, she starts kicking her feet and waving her arms in excitement. It's a lot of fun to watch her.

And then after class, we had an Easter egg hunt with a Sunday school class that some friends of ours attend. Bella was really able to participate this year. She found several eggs on her own including one in the tree and one on the swing. She even put the eggs in her basket and yelled at us when we tried to carry her basket for her. And after the hunt, she played with her friend and slid down the slide about a hundred times. We hadn't even pulled out of the parking lot when this poor girl feel asleep. But like all divas, her day wasn't complete without a shopping trip.
