Easter

We really want our skinny toddler to have the most nutrition she can get.  She was in 20 percentile for weight at her 18 month appointment.  So we have avoided candy and sugary things as much as possible.  And of course a lot of candy has milk or egg in it anyway. And we couldn't dy eggs because of her egg allergy.  So, for Easter we did a plastic Easter Egg hunt.  I had bought some large eggs last year after Easter that had Little People in them.  I hid those with smaller eggs.  She loved discovering what was inside.  In her basket we gave her a couple of books I got from the Dollar Spot at Target and a homemade card.  We gave her a Peep for snack and she licked and wanted Cheerios and raisins instead.  

A holiday can be fun without candy and she'll never know the difference.
