Easter was hard to explain to Will. I mean, why does the Easter bunny give us candy and presents? It's not like Santa (which we didn't discuss much either) where it's a concept of being good (although we did use the candy to turn around some grouchy behavior). He pointed out his Halloween costume in his closet and mentioned how he gets candy then, too. I guess we don't have to put it all together perfectly the first few years. . . .We'll just enjoy that we had an opportunity to be outside and spend time with family!
When we drove into the city yesterday, Will was more interested in the cars and buildings than ever before. I took the opportunity to point out Soldier Field ("Where they play football.") and the museums ("Where we can see dinosaurs." and "Where whales and dolphins are swimming.") and the lake. Will could see a dinosaur skeleton outside the Field Museum, but not the whales at Shedd. First he thought they were swimming in Lake Michigan (which he called the ocean). On the way home he told me "The dinosaurs are swimming in the ocean," and he seemed to have forgotten about the aquarium.
