Easter reflections

Here's Jamie's journal entry from April 25, the day after the Easter holiday. I like this because it displays both Jamie's desire to obey rules and to negotiate their boundaries. In the interests of maintaining fairness and general happiness at the Easter egg hunt we had instituted an egg-limit for each child:

"My weekend was good. On Saterday I went hunting for eggs. I got 23 eggs. But I had to throw 8 away. Becaus you could only have 15. But the then it went to 18." Then erased was this: "and then you could get as much as you could."
