Easter! Thanks for joining us for the first part of our Easter celebration. After you left, we went to the park and played until the boys were exhausted, then came back here for lunch. Frankie ate brisket sandwich and cole slaw, then fought a nap. I slept for a couple of hours when he and Mom laid down (around 1), and when I woke up at 3 he was still awake. I forced him to take a nap at 3 - well, I started forcing him at 3, and from the sound of his wailing you'd think I'd employed medieval tactics. He finally crashed at 3:30 and slept until 6, when Kristin and Jason came over. We ordered dinner from Satay, and he and Kristin played with magnet balls, stickers, and the Easter toys she brought until almost 9. She gave him a long bath, and I forced Mom to let me put him to sleep. I crashed with him, and we slept soundly through the night. It was a great Easter.
