We celebrated a Birthday here last week! Bradley has been excited to turn 3 for seemingly forever :)
Lots of pictures for this post:
Building train tracks in his new preschool room
Some extra excitement...came home from work one day to find several bees flying around the kitchen. They were trying to building a nest in our chimney! Was not prepared to kill a bunch of bees while not freaking out in front of Bradley. And then having to answer all his questions: "Why aren't they moving momma? When will they start flying again? Can we help them? ...
Spring Fling party at Daycare the Friday before Easter. Enjoyed seeing the Easter bunny, even though he kept telling me it was just Ms Kristin (the head teacher at his school). "Momma, it's just pretend. That's not the real Easter bunny" Too smart!
And a petting zoo at the party!
Plus face painting, of course. He wanted to be a cheetah but tiger was the best Ms Heather could do.
The next day, we met up with some friends for an Easter egg hunt. Mason and Bradley were ready for some fun!
The chaos. The egg hunt lasted about 5 seconds...
But thankfully, everyone got some yummy treats
Playing on the playground
After learning more about animals and where his food comes from at school, he's taken up renewed interest in his farm toys
Easter morning! His Easter basket full of goodies
And you can see our chimney taped up in the background to keep the bees out!
Playing outside in our beautiful weather
Watching a movie on daddy's TV
Buddies
Bradley's first day of Preschool! He moved up to the 3 year old room a few days early (same school, just different room).
Very excited to be a big kid now. For the past year, he's talked non-stop about how he needed to be tall enough to go to preschool, haha
Practicing drawing some letters
Trying to convince me that he's not a monkey just because he eats bananas
Birthday Morning! Checking out a card from Grammy
King for a day!
His birthday stash. So many fun things from family and friends
It's not a birthday until you eat some cake
Breakfast at the pancake store the next morning as his birthday weekend continued
He really wanted to go ice skating so that's what we did. He was "freezing" at first. This kid is not used to the cold!
He had a lot more fun than we expected. Thankfully, Adam is a great skater or this wouldn't have been fun. It is very hard to skate when you have to basically hold Bradley up the entire time.
Riding the little zamboni
Helping daddy put together his new crane
On Sunday morning, we used a new baby sitter so that Adam and I could run the Carlsbad 5000 together. Our first 5K in Cali where one of us isn't pushing the stroller, yay! And we both ran really well. I was only 20 seconds off my best time ever...which was 10 years ago! So I'd say I'm officially back in pretty good shape, as good as before pregnancy.
Post-race beers
Have to include Bradley's friend Dunkin. He's a lot bigger now
Being silly in the yard
Wanted to start carrying a backpack to school since the big kids do. He's obsessed with Star Wars so R2D2 is perfect
Day 2 of another fever so we showed him the Wii for the first time. He is definitely too young to play almost anything but we had fun playing a few games for a few minutes. Playing baseball:
And our favorite: MarioKart
We're now on Day 3 of the fever. Every fever he gets seems to last 4 days so we're anticipating a missed day of work/school tomorrow. Definitely hoping he outgrows these fevers soon.
Happy Sunday!
