A Rich Young Man (er, um, ah, Easter Bunny)

Easter Sunday 2009: Here's the almost naked Easter Bunny being read to by his mom right before nap time. I was reminded of how fortunate Isaac is when I picked up an old book of quotations and came across something along the likes of this:
" Sir, I have riches that nothing can take away, for I had a mother who read to me".
Or something to that effect. I can't locate the exact quotation, wouldn't you know, but I was very struck by it. I can't imagine a greater pleasure than observing what wonderful parents our grandchild has.

Isaac had fun exploring the Easter Basket Nana and Pawpaw brought. Then it was time to see what one of the other Easter Bunnies had hidden outside. His 'rents wanted him to gather all the eggs into his basket before opening them. But Isaac was on Isaac Time. As he found each egg he paused to open it and test or taste the insides. I suspect that will change in the next few years when there is competition for the eggs by his soon-to-arrive siblings.

When I was there last week I picked up a book called Wheels on the Bus and asked Isaac if he would like to have me read it to him. "No" he said. So I started singing the song. Soon he went over to the bookshelf and picked out a book about Twins that we had given him. What a joy to read to such a cute and attentive audience!

  1. What a wonderful post! You sure make me feel like I am doing a good job as Isaac's mom. Wonder where I learned? I must've had a great teacher :-)

  2. Beautiful! And you almost nailed it...here's what I believe you were quoting: "Richer than I you can never be. . .
    I had a mother who read to me."--Strickland Gillilan
