Easter

Aidan went to his first big egg hunt last weekend. He tends to be pretty passive around other kids and has a tendency to move at his own pace. We coached him that the night before and on the way there he was going to have to run to get the eggs because there would be a lot of other kids. He understood and would say 'run' if you asked him what he was supposed to do.

Well there were a ton of other kids and as soon as they said go the whole herd ran for the eggs. Aidan ran too but he kept running and running. He ran all the way across the field and didn't pick up a single egg. I guess we left out the step that he was supposed to pick up the eggs as he was running. Luckily he ran to the older kids area and grabbed eggs a few there. Next year we might need to be a little more specific in our directions.
