Meeting the Easter Bunny
Journaling:
I look at this picture, and I am amazed that it exists!
We were in the mall running errands, and I spied the Easter Bunny. I’d heard horror stories from friends about how hard it is to get a toddler to sit on a strange lap and smile for the camera, but this was all new to me. Serena was barely two months old last year, too small for me to trust with some-bunny making minimum wage wearing a costume. In addition, I’m Jewish so my life has never included posing with themed-holiday-characters.
There was no line, so I thought, why not try it and see what happens?
I took Serena out of her stroller and she walked up to the Easter Bunny on her own and touched him. I, along with other mothers of bawling babies nearby were shocked. She wasn’t scared!? I looked at the photographer and asked, “Are you ready? Because you’re going to have just one shot at this before she freaks!” She nodded, I plopped Serena on the bunny’s lap and this picture was quickly snapped. Within seconds after, Serena was off his lap and angry as heck at me. The real tantrum started when they tried to take that yellow sparkly egg away from her.
It’s not a great smile, but hey, it isn’t tears either!

Impromptu Zoo
Journaling reads:
Serena’s been having a lot of frustrating days as her back teeth come in. Today I ran out of ideas to take her mind off of it at home, and so we hopped in the car and headed to our local zoo.
The animals were an excellent distraction. Serena was most interested today in the prarie dogs, the wolf that she called “doggie” and the shaved ice cart.

Easter Bubbles
A pretty Easter photo inspired this layout. The journaling, in the spirit of William Carlos Williams "The Plums" reads:
It is so difficult
to take your photo
these days
but I really wanted one
of you in your dress
on easter
so daddy blew bubbles
and we captured
this smile
