Easter Parade

Brady had his Easter parade at school this morning. All the kids wore their Easter hats and marched through the church on their way to chapel.

He kept looking back at Blake and me to make sure we were still there :) 

And all was well until we saw the Easter bunny and Brady lost it. Oh my goodness. He was terrified. He didn't even get close to the bunny but you'd think that thing had snatched him up and run off with him. Most of the kids in his class were pretty horrified by the bunny but Brady just couldn't get past it. He cried all through chapel and finally his teacher brought him down to be with me. It was so sad! 

But not so sad that I couldn't snap a couple pictures.... :)

He's still at school right now and I am crossing my fingers hard that the bunny doesn't show up at his class party. He's not gonna like that one bit.

Update: When the boys and I were walking after school this afternoon I asked Brady if he was excited about his Easter party tomorrow and he said "No, I don't want to see the Easter bunny!" and then went on to tell me that he was scared and did not like the bunny. I told him about how when I was little (and not so little) I was also afraid of the Easter bunny but that he was nice and there is nothing to be afraid of. And he said "Yeah I was scared too, mommy." So then I told him that the Easter bunny brings candy and he said "Oooooh, I like Easter bunnies!"

Later this evening when Blake got home he gave Brady a piece of candy and said it was from the Easter bunny. Brady gladly accepted it and ate it, then about twenty minutes later came up to me and said "Easter bunny not here is he? He went back to the forest?" He was very concerned that the bunny came here and stuck around. Poor kid.

And a couple pictures from after school with his Easter basket surprises. He was so excited to get home and crack open the eggs!
