I've been preparing my boys for what to expect on Easter this year, since this is the first year they are mature enough to even slightly grasp the concept. Our Easter traditions include dyeing eggs, decorating our front window with some handmade Easter craft and hosting a brunch and egg hunt at our house with our extended family.
I've been reading a story about an egg hunt to the boys and they always get stuck on the same page where a little bunny is crying because he has no eggs in his basket so his older sister helps him find some. They make me read the page over and over. I hope I'm not instilling any anxiety about the holiday egg hunt tradition.
As always, my own anxiety flares up on the afternoon we dye eggs. I'm just such a neat freak and two-year-olds and permanent dye are just two things that shouldn't mix in my opinion. However, the most important thing to me is to create good memories around the holidays so I will try to set it aside for an afternoon.
