Post Easter

Finally the day has arrived. I took Rhys and Henry to get Rhys registered at school. I was so gung ho about Rhys going to the other preschool until September but now have many reservations. Kenny and I have decided to redouble efforts to potty train Rhys and read to the kids often during the day. We will continue with the Gymboree class and figure what else will be available for the summer.


Easter Sunday was a lovely, albeit a little anticlimactic. Hilary and John drove up stopping here first before we met up again at the Beverly Hilton for brunch with Muni and Angele. They completely redid the restaurant room. It’s incredibly beautiful and serene. Rhys found the pool and ran to the waters edge much to the alarm and amusement of guests seated poolside. The waiter in charge of our private room looked like Daniel Craig’s older brother. (Which is ironic considering I got the deluxe edition of Casino Royale from the Easter Bunny that morning. The boys each got a really cool basket as well.) It turned out that he was an actor. Big surprise!


Yesterday was spent hanging out with Mary and the kids. We were supposed to go to the Natural History Museum but decided to postpone it to catch the Butterfly Pavilion in a few weeks. Instead we hung out at their house for a couple of hours before heading over to Manhattan Beach for lunch at Islands and a brief stop at the Apple Store and then on to Target. It was enjoyable and Rhys was so hyped up and tired that by the time we left the MB Village parking lot he was already asleep. Luckily I was able to locate a shopping cart with a baby attachment for him. He slept much of our time at Target waking up just as we were about to leave.

Today after registration, we went to gas up and got a car wash. The boys had such a blast watching all the gizmos attack the car with soap and water.

Rhys skipped his nap today and was cranky and silly in a not so great way for Henry all afternoon. Once we got home I put on both movies we picked up from the library on Monday and settled them in for the rest of the afternoon.

I have sadly come to the realization that no matter how I try they will still fight over everything! Despite purchasing identical play sets they still ended up fighting over it. Soon it was bath time and then dinner. I don’t know how where he got the idea, but Rhys pulled down his underwear and mooned Henry right in the middle of dinner! Strange.
