Last year I took Anabelle to visit the Easter Bunny while we were on vacation in Texas, at just 6 months old she didn't have much of an opinion about "the Bunny". Although this picture doesn't show it -she mostly just sat on his lap and smiled up at him.
This year we have been talking about the Easter Bunny for a while now, and we even visited him a few weeks ago, although we didn't take any pictures, just to get a little more comfortable with him. I have seen lots of scenarios where children are crying when placed on the laps of the Easter Bunny or Santa, and since Anabelle is at the age where that sort of thing can happen, I thought a preliminary visit might help. Well this only made her love for the Easter Bunny that much greater!
Last Saturday Anabelle took a trip to the mall by our house to make her official visit to the Easter Bunny. We were lucky enough to get there early and have only 1 other child in line in front of us. During our short wait Anabelle was pulling and yanking on my hand to get to the Bunny. She was definitely excited! Once it was our turn she happily sat on his lap and just looked adoringly at him, looking up and smiling whenever we called her name to snap a picture. She did great! We had several good photos to choose from. Once it was time to go she didn't want to leave and we had some tears getting her away from the Easter Bunny! So sad! We were able to distract her pretty quickly and ended our visit on a good note.
It was a fun trip and I hope all of our visits to furry friends go that well!
