"I Have the Blue One?"

I had so much fun coloring Easter eggs yesterday with Xavier and his mom & dad (Molly & jason). Anyone that knows Xavier remembers his "blue" phase from about two years ago. No, he wasn't sad, rather everything to him was the color blue!

"What color is that [red] baloon, Xavier?"

"Boo."

"What color is the grass?"

"Boo."

"What color is your daddy's hair?"

Trick question. Daddy doesn't have any hair. But it was still, always to him, boo.

Xavier still likes his blue, and these days, he's added Dash and bowling to his favorite things. So yesterday, it came as no surprise that he really wanted to hold that blue egg before it was dry.

"I have the blue one? I have the blue one? I have the blue one?" he said repeatedly as soon-to-be-four-year-olds will when they think they're not being heard. He got so upset when he was told no and stared so longingly at that egg.

I think he finally got over it and moved on when he saw his mom blow-drying a plastic wrapper around an egg. It was funny to see him with the hair dryer, watching the egg roll all over the table. He laughed and laughed and laughed and finally forgot all about that blue egg.
