Bunny preview

Easter is two weeks off, but a big furry creature hopped into town for a preview Sunday.

One of my children was excited to see the Easter Bunny.

The other child... well... we got her this close:

Wasn't it just four months ago, on this very stage, that Sydney conquered her fear and sat on Santa's lap? I tried using that logic with her and got basically a "Yeah, so what's your point?" response. The Easter Bunny isn't Santa, and Sydney wasn't going anywhere near him. End of story. Thank you very much.

In addition to the photo opp with the big bunny, another highlight (all planned by the school's ECFE program) was a cake walk. Oh goody, because the kids weren't already on enough of a sugar rush, they won four cupcakes.

Amazingly, Sydney's sweater remained white all afternoon.

There were also a few crafts, a sheep to pet, and an Easter egg hunt. (Thankfully, most of the eggs were filled with rubber band bracelets, erasers, tattoos and other non-sugary treats.)

Sydney may not want to go anywhere near the Easter Bunny, but she sure enjoys the traditions he represents.
