So much of my mental and physical energies have been consumed with
disease and death, yesterday I needed to be reminded that life can be
happy and carefree as well. It was comforting to wake up with everybody
under the same roof. Timmy and Robby both woke with smiles on their
faces. I guess I am not the only one who has missed the normalcy of our
lives.
In the morning, before the sun warmed
everything and while it was still chilly, we packed up and headed to the
mall. We were on a mission: Timmy needed to meet the Easter Bunny. (I
suspect that Robby no longer believes in the Easter Bunny. Whenever the
rodent is referenced, Robby includes air quotes before and after his
name.) Even though my little Koopa may not believe, he played along
beautifully for his little brother.
We dressed Timmy
in the same outfit Robby wore during his first Bunny encounter. I was
taken aback looking at Timmy in the bunny outfit. I felt like I was
looking back in time at Robby. Hair and eye color is different, but they
have stunningly similar faces.
Dressed adorably
like a little bunny, we were prepared for Timmy to melt down. After all,
being put on the lap of a giant furry rabbit would be terrifying for a
baby. Apparently not for my baby though; he seemed to thoroughly enjoy
the interaction. We set him down in the photo lounge and Timmy took off
like a flash, crawling towards his new furry friend. The Easter Bunny,
seeing a cute little bunny crawling towards him, rose out of his chair
and started to crawl towards Timmy. I am so happy that Scott managed to
snap a picture!
