As for Tucker... well, he has had better days. For starters, I didn't realize until Easter morning that my son no longer wears a 2T. He is a solid 3T now. Therefore, his Easter outfit was unfortunately the very wrong size.
His pants were an inch too short, his shirt wouldn't stay tucked in, his vest wasn't long enough, and his milk belly pooched out over the top of his pants. And when did I realize this would be his appearance for the day? Oh, a half-hour before we were to leave for church. Nice. Not my finest work.
I seriously thought about scratching the whole plan and going with something else in his closet, albeit worn before and not Easter-perfect enough. But, since I have recently been told that I seem to perpetually have my act together and can thus be intimidating, I decided to use this as an opportunity to show weakness in a very public way. My son wore his ill-fitting clothes to church, on Easter Sunday, of all days... such a pride buster for me!
To make matters worse, he was sick. Very sick. Like, four-Nebulizer-treatments-in-one-day kind of sick. A better mom would have kept him at home, but not me. It was Easter. I love Easter. Plus, he had new clothes to wear... such as they were.
He even opened his Easter Basket with his Nebulizer hard at work, settling his lungs. Poor guy.
Between breathing treatments, he played with Tyler and Abby, grazed on various yummy treats, and even played a song on the piano.
Tucker is signing cold.
You do have to keep Jell-o in the refrigerator, you know. But it added to the whole sensory integration issue for him, I think.
It was a great day. I really love Easter.

I had to smile when I saw Tucker's Easter basket! Just the other day a friend told me that there is no such thing as a non-girly Easter basket. I told her that, indeed, there is and I have bought all of my boys rectangular or square baskets. I saw the picture on your post and I was glad to see that once again, great minds think alike!
