DiDi came home not long after that. I had to go to Freddies to buy a new windshield wiper. Mine fell apart on the drive over. Adia didn't want to ride in the cart, but wouldn't stay close without riding. It was awful. We managed to get out of the store in one piece, but it wasn't easy. We came home and ate dinner. Adia couldn't wait to have some ice cream for dessert. She took a bath, played a bunch and then we climbed into DiDi's bed to read books. DiDi read her "10 Apples Up On Top" for the first time and Adia became a big fan.
Adia wouldn't sleep in DiDi's bed, but wanted to sleep in her own bed. DiDi has a twin mattress on the floor just for Adia. She fell asleep there and slept until 1:30. When she woke up, she climbed into bed with me and was up again at 4:30 asking for water. I had to trek all the way to the kitchen to get her some since I forgot to do it before bed. She did sleep in a bit and then mauled DiDi with love in the morning. After breakfast and showers, I called Gramma and Papa and let them know there was an Easter Egg hunt in the park. They arrived shortly after that.
I didn't know how Adia would do at the egg hunt. She's never experienced anything like that before. She hated waiting for it to start. She waited behind the line with Gramma, but soon got scared by all the commotion and only wanted me. I joined her and soon the hunt began. Adia did really well picking up eggs. She didn't win any special prizes, but she liked the eggs. I was confused why they filled the 1-2 year old group's eggs with hard candy and gum though. She couldn't eat any of it, but the eggs were a good enough prize for her.
Adia was soon begging to play on the playground. There was an ice cold wind, but it hadn't started raining yet. She played and played and even convinced Gramma to go down the slide too. Then she played in the sand with DiDi and Papa.
It started to rain so we had to head back to the house. We had lunch at A&W with Gramma, Papa and DiDi. Adia ate most of her hot dog before asking for some of Gramma's ice cream. I was really proud of her. We went back home and Adia took a LONG nap. While she was napping, I made Papa's birthday cake. When Adia woke up, she got to lick the chocolate ganache beaters. She was a very happy girl about that. She's my little chocoholic.
After dinner and a bath, Adia was begging for bed again. She went to bed pretty easily and I hoped she would sleep well. I knew she was going to have a long, napless day the next day.
