Hunting for Easter Eggs

Posted by taneya on April 11, 2009 under Kaleya | Read the First Comment

Today I took Kaleya to the Easter Egg Hunt in town that was sponsored by the Al Menah Shriners here in town.  I went with my coworker and her family and we had a great time.  The festivities began with general activities for the kids; they had dune buggy car rides, motorcycle rides, temporary tattoos, balloon animal, bounce “things” (cuz I don’t know the proper name), and then after all that, the Easter Egg Hunt.  

I was surprised that Kaleya enjoyed the bounce things so much; she even attempted to climb the inflatable wall climb/slide combination.   They had some older kids posted at the bottom and at the top of that one to help the younger kids, so she got some help getting up the wall and over to the other side.  She was at one point upset though when one of the older girls slid down with her trying to help because Kaleya “wanted to do it by myself.”  ah well.   

The egg hunt part itself was fun too – there were way too many sugar eggs though – I have no idea what I’ll do with them all.  Some pictures and and a video clip below.  All the pictures are here.

How Did She Know That?

Me to Kalonji:  telling him how Jihad took the thermometer that is not intended to go in your mouth and put it in his mouth to take his temperature last week

Me to Jihad:  ”Raise your arm. I have to put the thermometer in your armpit to take your temperature. And remember, this thermometer is made to go in one of two places.”

Jihad: “Where?”

Me:  ”Your underarm is one place.  I bet you can guess the other.”

Jihad: “No, where?”

Kaleya interjects: “your bum-bum!”

HOW IN THE WORLD DOES SHE KNOW THAT?  Is it possible she remembers the doctor’s office doing that a few years ago to her? She couldn’t tell me how she knew that, but i’m floored! And, good think I’ve never used that particular thermometer for a rectal temp  :-)
