Conversation with a 2 year old

I love how funny a 2 year old can be. Here's the conversation the other night as I was cooking dinner.
Axel: "Hi Mom, I like apples."

Me: "You do, what kind of apples to you like?"

Axel: "Um.. green ones I eat, red ones I like."

Me: "I like green and red apples too. Do you know that there are yellow apples also?"

Axel: "Oh yeah! Go to store and buy more apples Mom."

This totally came out of the blue. We had no apples in the house at the time and I didn't say any thing about apples while I was cooking. It's cute to see what they are thinking. I just love all the language Axel has been learning. I'll have to make sure that we check all the colors of apples next time we go to the store.

Happy Easter

So I'm always late on my posts these days. But Happy Easter every one! We had a great day. I ended up not having to work! (thanks to my wonderful co-worker Donna) Yes, I know I work at a catholic hospital and they don't count Easter as a holiday on my floor? (don't ask) Axel loved the jelly bean trail that he found that lead to his basket. It was so fun watching him. At first he skipped to the middle of the trail but then he realized that it was candy and had to go back to the beginning and shove as many in his mouth as possible. (my friend has the cutest idea about taking the hollow chocolate bunny you bit his ears off and filled it full of milk and then drink it with a straw) Well I wanted to try this year and when I opened the bunny he had a stinken hole in the bottom! Bummer... Axel didn't care he thought eating chocolate for breakfast was the coolest! Next year I'll have to try it again. We first stopped by Grandma Ann's house. She gave Axel a cute little basket with treats, a book and a new summer outfit. Then we went to my parent's for dinner. Had great food and Axel loved running around with his cousins. The kids did a egg hunt-which was a blast-country yard makes for a fun hunt! My dad hide a turkey egg so who ever found that one got $5! Congrat's to Maddie. (yes, my parent's are hobby farmers now) Axel just loves it at my parent's because the have all kinds of animals to watch-chickens, turkey's and puppies-they also used to have pigs and a goat!) Axel of course got totally spoiled by all his Easter bunnies. Thanks all the grandparent's/great-grandma Bev for the basket's and nice gifts. I even got a basket this year! (Axel might have gotten puzzles,bubbles, a kite and a flashlight but nothing beats getting new towels in your basket-that's what mom got!) To cool. Hope every one was as blessed as we were. I'll get some pictures posted soon!
