Ok. Picture a happy toddler slamming an egg into the color dye bucket, looking up and saying "What happen, momma?" A blue streak runs across the tile counter and little blue hands are now being thoroughly examined by the toddler attempting to figure out if she needs to have a fit about messy hands or not.
We made it through all 12 eggs without breaking or cracking during the process, which was rather amazing. We had to give a new definition to the word: "gentle" at this point as well. After a while pink and blue splashes became minimal, but hands turning colors was not ok. She was still not too sure even after the bath.
The bright pink, purple, yellow, orange, blue and green colored eggs now sit in a container in the fridge awaiting to be hidden by the Easter Bunny. Said toddler still doesn't have a clue what is going on here yet, much to the delight of mother who has all the candy sitting out on the counter because she doesn't know where else to put it. Incidentally, mother had to restrian from getting a beautiful Brazillian chocolate egg yesterday at Cafe Brazil because it would mean yet another upgrade in basket size *shudder*. Mom just couldn't face that yet.

I'd not get the brazillian egg simply because I'd be terrified of that much chocolate in the hands of a 3 year old.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Madisyn last year, she did the same thing, throw the egg in the color, what fun! then when we took it out, she tried to eat it with the shell still on. then we had to explain we could not drink the colored water :D
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how she does this year.
