We took Aidan for his second egg hunt at Central Park today. This year, he could enjoy it a lot more than last year. Last year he was still so young, he couldn't appreciate the puppet show, or what those plastic eggs were all about. I remember when we exchanged the plastic eggs for a small bottle of bubbles, he was so scared of the bubbles that he wanted nothing to do with them. Such a big difference this year. Now, he's obsessed with bubbles! However, this year they changed the bubbles for a bag of bunny crackers. Speaking of the egg hunt, it was madness! We had to run alllll the way to the end of the park to find two eggs. Aidan was doing good running half-way through the park, until he realized he's too slow. So, I picked him up and carried him with me until we finally spotted some eggs. Hank and I basically had to surround the eggs ourselves so other kids and parents wouldn't snatch them away. Some kids left with a full basket of eggs (over 8), while others had a couple, or none. Mostly, it was the parents going crazy. No matter how many eggs you get, you still only get ONE bag of crackers!
After we had lunch, we went over to the hospital to visit Baby Logan. Aidan is always happy to go to the hospital. He knows that Logan is there, and he's sleeping. Despite not paying much attention to Logan after saying "Hi" to him, I know Aidan likes to be around Logan. I know he still has good memories of Logan when he's home with us. I remember Aidan watching the same clip of Logan sucking his lips and he would replay that many many times. I want that to be the memory that Aidan will have of Logan. Aidan also received a bucket full of Easter goodies from the hospital. I think the bucket was for Logan, but since Logan can't fully appreciate it and the nurse saw Aidan today, she gave it to Aidan. He was happy to carry it around with him, but didn't really care much about the contents. He's too obsessed with the laptop. We were able to keep him quiet at the hospital because of the laptop.

Aidan LOVES the parachute!!
Chilling with daddy at the gazebo. Hank is actually sitting on the Easter Bunny's chair, where the bunny takes pictures with kids. No bunny in sight though.
