An Easter egg "hunt" for the babies

After Adelaida's Easter egg hunt at school was finished, I walked over to the infant classroom to help out with the babies' Easter egg hunt. This was a very different kind of Easter egg hunt -- unlike the preschoolers, the babies were completely uninterested!

The four babies who were awake and old enough to be at all interested in the Easter egg hunt were sitting on the floor. Ms. Adrienne and Ms. Erika put little baskets full of Easter grass and eggs in front of them and tried to get the girls to look in the baskets. Here, Ms. Adrienne is pointing to the basket, saying, "Cordelia, look right here, look in the basket!" Cordelia watches Kaylee across the floor.


Finally, Addison (who is one month older than Estella and Cordelia) discovers something in her basket.


Ms. Adrienne tries to get Estella to look in her basket while Ms. Erika takes an egg out and hands it to Cordelia.


Cordelia considers the egg ...


... and decides it looks good enough to eat!


Estella finds something in her basket ...


... it is Easter grass! Estella decides to eat the Easter grass.


Estella eats Easter grass while Cordelia gnaws on an egg. The babies' Easter egg hunt lasted only a few minutes, and now the babies are telling us it is time for lunch!


But before I go, the teachers bring out the bunny ears and insist on putting them on the babies for photos. Cordelia gets the bunny ears first -- what a cutie!


And now Estella gets the bunny ears! (Bunnies are supposed to eat grass, right?)


It was a fun Easter egg hunt, but eventually I had to go back to work. The babies enjoyed their Easter egg hunt -- about as much as they enjoy sitting on the floor and playing with any other toys! (They are so easy to please!)
