Over dinner last night we taught Ben about the symbolism of the Easter egg. Rebirth. Creation. New life. Resurrection. Purity. Christ. It was a fun conversation. I think he got it. Lots more than Maddie Mae at least. Then we cleaned up dinner and dyed eggs while we watched the Charlie Brown Easter Special on TV.
They have a bit of work to do on their skills at being gentle. We have numerous eggs that are totally cracked now. Maddie would hold the egg up high above the bowl of dye and basically throw them in, splashing all over the table and cracking the shells. Ben did better, but still broke a few. Glad they were hard boiled. Breakfast this morning was colorful to say the least because the dye had gotten to the edible part of the egg. They had so much fun though and Ben got creative about his attempts to make cool eggs.
