Getting in the Easter Spirit

Last week we had a visit from our service provider with Capable Kids and Families. This is an awesome program that lends equipment and provides other resources to families like ours. I can’t say enough good things about them. Our visits from them are always so much fun and our friend brings the coolest toys to share with us. Many are switch adapted, meaning Gage can activate them with a simple push of a large button. He’s very motivated to reach for it, especially because he’s in control! The toy we got to borrow this month was the perfect way to set the stage for the upcoming Easter holiday, and is also hilarious.

I’d guess we’ve listened to ‘Kung Fu Fighting’ no less than 50 times in the week this guy has been on loan to us. At one point, Caleb had enough!

Upon seeing the bunny, however, Caleb requested I find our Easter eggs. So during nap time, I made my way up to the attic to drag down the Easter stash. There was a leftover egg dying kit from last year in the mix, so we put it to good use!

We managed to drop about half the eggs on the floor, and each time one fell, Caleb would say, “uh oh, it’s hatching!” Of course we had to sample the goods when we were done. I’ve got some awfully cute taste testers.

All this Easter cuteness inspired a photo shoot a few days later. Caleb does not share Gage’s love of having his picture taken, but I think I still captured some sweet moments.
