Eggs and stained fingers and peanut-free chocolate
Yesterday we went to an aunt and uncles' for Easter (my mom's side of the family). They were very accommodating to us re: Nate's peanut allergy and treats. They organized an easter egg hunt out in the back yard and only put in hard candies and gummy candies.
And Nate, in typical exuberant form, abandoned his basket about 10 seconds into the hunt when he realized there was a big swing set in the corner. He proceeded to run and swing and climb and tell us he could see easter eggs hiding in the trees (there were none there but he was very convincing in his insistence).
It was great.
Also, it is worth repeating what 
helloheather wrote on Friday.
Tonight's Good Friday service was a presentation of readings and choral songs. We brought Nathan into church with us, thinking that we'd keep him there as long as he wasn't disturbing anyone.
Well, the music held his attention for the whole service! Rob and I have both noticed that he really tunes in to new music. He likes to listen, and asks what the different instruments are, or who is singing.
Tonight, as we were walking out in solemn silence, Nathan whispered, "It was a good sing."

I love that boy.
