Breakfast with the Bunny

Today Brody and I got to have breakfast with the Easter Bunny at his preschool! He was soooo excited to take some eggs to give to his friends and was asking me about the Easter Bunny on our way to school. Recently Adam the Alligator visited them and taught them about good dental hygiene. Later when we were talking about alligators, Mike and I told him that alligators crawl along the ground and that they don't walk like humans do. He insisted that they can walk because Adam can walk! We had a long discussion about how Adam wasn't a real alligator, but it was just someone in a costume. I think this triggered thoughts about the Easter Bunny.

Brody - "Mommy? Is the Easter Bunny real or not?"
Me - "No, it's just someone in a costume. But it'll be a big furry costume that will be soft to touch!"
Brody - "So it'll be nice to me?"
Me - "Yes" "What's Easter really about?"
Brody - "Jesus!......Do you think Jesus likes Easter eggs?"

When we got to school he was terrified of the big bunny! Most of the other kids were clinging to their mommy's and it took a while for them to warm up to him enough to sit in his lap for a picture! Brody finally asked to go sit in the bunny's lap and even promised to smile!

Of course as soon as anyone else wanted to take a picture with him he'd go silent and straight faced! Ms Jessica tried hard to get him to smile for this picture...but he held his ground!

Of course as soon as she walked off he started laughing and smiling for the camera!

And being super silly while he ate his powdered donuts!
