Brad turned 4 years old today and we had a big party with nearly 40 people (both adults and kids). He has been talking about his birthday party for about 6 months so was pretty excited. Earlier this week, I took him to the grocery store to look through a cake catalog (with dozens of kids cakes) to pick out the one he wanted... I was sure he'd pick a Spiderman cake (he loves Superheroes and insists he is one) but he picked out a Power Rangers cake instead.
Last year, when he turned 3 years old, and the kids finished singing "Happy Birthday" at his party, another boy blew out his candles and Brad was traumatized (the video shows him howling, "Oh NOOOOOO!!!!" Grandma then quickly relit them so he could blow them out himself.) He's been talking about this for a YEAR now (still saying, "Remember at my 3-year-old birthday party when someone else blew my candles out?!")... for him, it was probably the most traumatic event of his life! So this year, his biggest nightmare almost happened again. When he began to blow out his candles, another boy standing next to him bent down and blew them out too. (We have video of Brad reaching out to stop him and saying sternly, "Do not blow my candles out!") I think the boy might have blown some of the candles out, but we convinced Brad that he stopped him "JUST IN TIME!" so all is well...
