This was the first ever Easter Bunny visit for both girls this year. We talked it up to Zoe the day before to prepare her and get her all excited. What we did not consider, though, was a two year old's perception of the world is a lot more literal than ours. You see, if you are a two year old and someone tells you you are going to see an easter "bunny" and all of your experiences in your life tell you that a "bunny" is a small, soft little animal that hops in the woods, you are going to be very surprised when you get to the mall and see this huge hairy thing with buck teeth and a bow tie. With this perspective in mind , you can totally understand the look on Zoe's face! She did NOT want to sit in this thing's lap - and I can't say I blame her. Fiona on the other hand, could not have cared less (even with her very stinky, full diaper - which we were hoping the Easter bunny wouldn't notice until after the pictures were taken!).

One..two..three...fore!
Instead of just buying any toys for Zoe, I've been looking for things that are "activities". Things that we can do together, or things she can eventually learn to do by herself. It's more of an effort than you'd think! One fun thing we got her was a golf set. She's pretty good at sports in general (certainly didn't get that from me!), and catches on quickly once we show her a few times. After a few tries I hear the inevitable, "Watch this, Mommy!" and she shows us her new "moves"...

Easter 2010
Cinderella's got nothing on Zoe!
So I've put Zoe to work early on. She just turned two and already has "chores". She feeds the dogs and gives them water. She also "helps" me empty the dishwasher. That's why people have had kids for centuries, right? So someone else would have to do all the work! She definitely is still learning, though. Sometimes she'll eat the dog food, throw a glass on the floor, or dump the water out over the ledge of the deck. Practice makes perfect I always say!:)
