Easter Eggs





We ended up at CiCi's house on the weekend before Easter and CiCi had a surprise for Zander. She had boiled eggs and asked him to help her dye them. They turned out really cute. The funny thing was what Zander said. Children with Asperger's are quite blunt and often blurt out things without thinking about it first. I overheard Zander say, "CiCi, I quite enjoyed dyeing eggs with you. I would like to do it again next year if you are not dead." I tried to explain AGAIN, that while that was a true statement, it was not very nice. Thank goodness CiCi understands and was not offended.
On Easter Sunday, I decided to pass down a tradition. When I was growing up, on Easter Sunday Granny always had Easter eggs for lunch. My uncles thought it was alot of fun to hit me in the head with the egg to crack it. It really hurt sometimes, but it happened every year. I told Zander about this and PaPa was the first to crack his egg on Zander's head. Zander thought this was hysterical of course and needless to say, he cracked several of the eggs on PaPa's head. Thinking of you Uncle Steve!
