Swinging

Preston loves to swing more than anything else when we are at the park.  He will spend forever in the swing.  At home this is how he swings in the big boy swing.

For those of you wondering, Preston and I attempted a potty training exercise about 3 weeks ago.  I wanted to see if he would start to grasp the concept. It didn't take, is all I have to say.  I have since occasionally brought it up to keep it fresh on his mind.  Yesterday, when I was at the store and Preston was trailing behind me with a toy wheel barrow loaded with toys repeatedly saying, "pease momma" pease momma" I turned around and very enthusiastically said, "I will buy that for you if you go potty on the big boy potty" without any hesitation Preston looks at me says, "NO ME" (meaning not me) immediately put it back where he found it and that was the end of it.  Maybe in July we shall try again.

Easter

 This year we participated the the 1st annual Hershey's Easter Egg hunt with about the entire state of Arkansas in attendance.  Preston was a little overwhelmed by all the children but we were able to get him some prizes.  The night before and the morning of the big event Matt was training Preston on how to hunt for eggs.  I really wish I had this on camera because the method is 1. you got to run and scan, run and scan.  While you are running you have always keep your eyes out for an egg.  Matt held several trial runs with a couple of eggs from home. 2. You have to be fast.  Think of all the kids Preston, they are after your eggs so you have to grab it fast.  Matt had Preston doing some running exercises for this one. and 3. if they get in your way you push them down. (probably a technique that landed him in his room for all Field Family Egg Hunts.) Matt even wanted to do some running exercises while we were at the hunt waiting for Preston's turn. While Preston has the running part down, he has not yet mastered the scanning for eggs or the grabbing them fast skills.  Maybe next year.

He is also not a fan of a life size Hershey kiss.

Unfortunately, we only were able to do one Egg hunt because for the rest of the week and on Easter we had nonstop pouring rain.  We actually had a lake in our backyard and the streets were like rivers.

or the Easter Bunny (also known as Baaa)

He was very much a fan of getting a Baaaa on his cheek though.
