Easter memories 2010

O frabjous joy!  I received word yesterday that photos of Prince Tyger's Easter festivities had been posted.  Of course, I had to rush to the site and scroll through.  It was clear that the Tyger wasn't quite sure what all the fuss was about.  But he certainly enjoyed it.  He learned, for example, that if one hunts for plastic eggs on the ground - and why on earth would anyone in his right mind want to do that in the first place? - one might just find goldfish crackers inside.  And Prince Tyger, like most little ones of my acquaintance, is very, very fond of goldfish crackers.  So he entered into the spirit of the hunt with gusto, to say the least, especially when there were also little girls to chase around giant plastic bunnies.

Having Proud Papa Big T there to point things out (and to give instruction on how to behave towards little girls) was also helpful.

Prince Tyger also liked some new items that magically showed up in his house on Easter morning.  I don't believe that he'll have any trouble blowing out his birthday candles this year, at least not if this is any indication.

Prince Tyger just took it for granted that he should be among the favored few who were able to participate in the Easter Egg Roll on the White House lawn on Easter Monday.  OK, so he didn't get to have a photo op with this guy or his family ...

but he still had great fun and so did everyone else.  Here he is with Big T and Momma H, enjoying events from his Papa-created vantage point, just before the real action began.

I've already reported about his egg rolling technique - which wasn't really a rolling technique but more of a tossing style.  And he's also learned about delegating tasks to his "minions."  Big T was the officially designated basket carrier.

To finish things up on this very satisfactory day, he checked out some cherry blossoms with Proud Papa.  Then he went happily home to a well-deserved nap.  And so did his parents!
