I think he bought it. Why? The next day without thinking I hid a bag of jelly beans in the same cabinet behind the mixing bowls and several bottles of olive oil right beside the bunny cookies and fruit chews. JDaniel headed straight for them at breakfast the following morning while I was getting dressed. He came to the bedroom door and announced that the Easter Bunny must be leaving new things everyday. This time I thought before I spoke! “Wow!” I said, “He must know that is where I am storing things to take on our trip!” “Yep!” he said, “He is one smart bunny!”
Does he really think the bunny is coming early? I don’t really know. JDaniel is a wise little man. I do know that he believes there is an Easter Bunny and that he know just what JDaniel likes.
I just have to hide they Easter things in some place that isn’t on his level, isn’t where he looks for snacks, and isn’t wear he hides in Hide and Seek. I thought about moving them into a suitcase in the bonus room under a pile of other bonus room treasures. They would be surrounded by the ancient golf bag, an old end table, and a box of Christmas ornaments. I ended up moving them into my husband’s side of the walking closet in our bedroom.
This post was written last Thursday before we headed out to spend Spring Break with family. I will let you know how it went when I come back.

Funny story. I always used to just stick the stuff in a bag in my closet. For some reason, the kids never seemed to look in there!
=)

He’s so cute. It is getting REALLY hard for me to keep the bunny mystery alive. Vagueness seems to be the key. I hope you had a happy Easter!
LisaDay says
I always need time to prepare answers, too. I was keeping things hidden in my hope chest, but now he wants to check that out so it’s on the top shelf in a closet. I hope your trip was lovely.

I hope it went well!! I hide things in my laundry room. I’m the only one that goes in there, so it’s perfect. –Lisa

so sweet. he is a wise one.
Lisa @ Two Bears Farm says
Oh uh! I usually hide stuff in the guest room closet. I’m sure they’ll figure it out someday though.
Rabia says
How funny! I’ll bet he’s young enough to forget for next year. I’ve slipped up a few times too and the kids are still believers (or good fakers!!)
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says
He sure keeps you on your toes, doesn’t he?
Sarah~Magnolia Surprise says
Oh that’s funny! He probably bought into it — just be careful around age 9 when he takes you into the garage for “the big talk”….. Mine did and Santa, the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny — all gone in one fell swoop!
Granny-Guru says
How precious. Now that you mention it, I think I did used to hide them up high in the cupboard, out of sight. My grandson knows where we keep all our treats now, down at his level.

I’m glad JDaniel bought it. I hate it when little kids find out. He’s one good finder of stuff, your little man!
Heather{Our Life In a Click} says
Haha..that’s where I keep mine too!! And my kids are older (teens)!! I still want to surprise them!
Raising a Happy Child says
Too funny. I am glad he bought his explanation. I hope you are enjoying your Easter break!
a happier girl says
Too cute! I love that he never doubted anything and just assumed the Easter Bunny was leaving treats early!
