Bradley turned 4 in August!! He had a great birthday at Grandma's house.
At one point he mentioned something about growing up and having a kid. I told him, "Did you know that someday when you have a baby and become a daddy, that then I will be a grandma??" He got a super serious and sad face and said in a quiet tender voice, "Oh noooo. I don't want you to change into a grandma." Oh. my. goodness. It made me melt and feel bad that that thought made him sad. I hugged him and told him that I would always be his mommy though. It was so sweet and tender.

At the beginning of September he started preschool! He goes 3 days a week and LOVES it! It has been so good for all of us. I have nothing but fantastic things to say about his school, teachers, and experiences so far.
He got to celebrate his birthday at school one day and was so excited and proud.
His imagination has exploded and changed the way he plays. Whereas he used to only pretend real things (like car noises, pretend cooking, etc), he has now added in dialogue. So now his cars talk, have conversations, and fight bad guys.
He is so interested in good guys vs bad guys right now. And he's been dreaming a lot and actually telling us about his dreams. His nightmares usually involve bad guys or bugs.
I have loved my conversations with him lately! He is so funny and understands so much more. He has also been a lot more whiney though. I've heard 4 is an emotional age and so far that has been true for him. His meltdowns have become way more intense and dramatic than ever.
Tired boy:
One day while letting my kids delay nap time, I started playing a game with Bradley where I asked him, "What is your favorite ____(every possible thing I could think of)?" and then he would answer. It was so cute to hear some of his responses. He got clever with some. Like, "what is your favorite salad?" (he hates salad). His response, "hmmm a little salad".

I helped him sew a diaper for cow. :)
Despite the meltdowns and extra whiny voice, I have really been enjoying him lately. He is a sweet, fun boy.
