Brigham Turns 3 & Is Using the Potty!!!


We are overjoyed to announce that Brigham is using the potty and wearing "Big Boy" underwear! Oh yes, he also turned 3 years old this week. You can see what excites me more by the introductory sentence. Believe you me, Brigham using the potty is such a welcomed and anticipated milestone for the whole family, especially Jon and I who have been changing that big boy.
On Monday, June 16th, Brigham turned 3. His only request was for a Dinosaur Birthday Cake. In my attempts to give him is hearts desire on his birthday (and cake is the boy's hearts desire), it fell to pieces when I transferred it from the pan to the cake board. Luckily, the pieces were large.
So, Wes and I put our heads together and came up with the Earthquake/Dinosaur Cake you see here. It's not pretty but it brought such excitement to Brigham's face. And, that was worth it all!
Brigham opened his gifts from Wes, Susanna, and Rebekah at breakfast, went to lunch with Jon at Witt's End, and had cake and ice cream after dinner to celebrate his special day. Thank you to all who remembered him with cards, gifts, and calls on our "Big Baby's" (as he still calls himself) special day!
