So, yes, Bradley turned 8 today. For his birthday he wanted to get baptized. As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we believe age eight is the age of accountability and the age when a person is first eligible for baptism. Basically children are innocent before they reach this age which can be a confusing concept for a parent because children of all ages can be quite naughty and annoying. However, there is something about eight year olds that changes. I think it's an age when the mind matures and is able to make more conscious decisions between right and wrong. I noticed it with Emily.
Bradley had a great day. I have to say, having a boy baptism is so much easier than a girl one because you don't have to worry about a white dress and what to do with the wet hair after. Here are some pictures:
