We are having a great Easter here in the Nielson household.
First, Sadie slept through the night! She used to do this every night, but starting at midnight on April 1st Sadie began waking up screaming every 3 hours at night. We could do nothing to console her but get her up and "play" for a while. Sadie has never done anything like this so we hoped it was just a cruel joke for April Fools Day, but Sadie continued this every night until last night. Hallelujah! We are pretty sure we will be seeing some teeth poking out of her gums soon.
Second, Easter means eating crap for breakfast. Not literal crap, but candy. I ate Cadbury Mini Eggs and Sadie got to eat graham crackers- her favorite.
Third, Sadie is playing with the new toys from her Easter basket. Don't worry; we are still lazy parents who didn't buy anything for her, but my mother-in-law came through once again. Sadie is one lucky girl to have her as a grandmother. She sent Sadie an Easter basket filled with lots of new toys. It is great because Sadie is at an age now where she recognizes and loves new toys. We may or may not have let her open the package yesterday.
Thrilled with the toys...and the box
Sadie fell in love with this rubber ducky basically instantly. We have taken it everywhere we go since Sadie laid eyes on it.
Fourth, we have been reading and laughing at my journal entries from Easter's past. While my 1997 entry about how I got Keroppi (the frog friend of Hello Kitty) stuff I didn't want was entertaining, this one I posted last year is still the best-
"April 3, 1994- I'm dead. I think. I think my Egypt report is due on Wednesday but, I'm not sure. It might be due tommorow or Wednesday. I think it's due on the 6th, which is Wednesday, but Mr. J said to bring it in on Monday. Mom won't let me type any of my report today. Mom's such a jerk, idiot, pea brain, etc. I just hate her. I hate espiecally Meredith. By the way, today is Easter. I got a bat. Yippe. I mean even Hillary got better presents than me. Meredith got a vest at GAP. The most exspensive brand of all. Love, Carly the Mad."
Finally, we have been watching this video of Sadie repeatedly.

I love the laughing video. Sadie is so big. Sitting up in the tub and teething. 2 months and counting till we can play again!
I ate graham crackers for breakfast on Easter too! Great minds think alike.
I am pretty sure there is no better sound that a baby laughing. She is so cute!
I just love your journal posts. You should share some more. You were a very diligent writer even in your angry childhood moments.
I love reading every post, keep them coming! Carly I miss visiting with you every week/month! Thank goodness for blogs and them helping me stay more connected. If you are ever up in Salt Lake/want a reason to be in Salt Lake call me and we will get together. Sadie is absolutely amazing.
