Happy Birthday Brigham!!!

It's a sad day for me today. If you know me, you know that I hang on to the "baby stage" for as long as possible. It's not until 2 yrs old hits that I truly believe they are growing up. So today is a day for letting go. But first, a few pictures of the past 2 years.

Brigham has always been a happy baby. Very enthusiastic about trying everything life has to offer. He is bright, demanding, knows what he wants and usually gets it. He is also kind, loving, affectionate and very charming. I was so blessed to have him come when he did. His pregnancy was a difficult one for me. I had hit a depression that was hard to shake. He came along and cleared my gray sky's into a bright sunny yellow. And it has been that way ever since. Age two is posing some new challenges that I am already seeing. Time out has been introduced already, however isn't understood completely and sometimes turns into a game. Very annoying. Toddler years are hard for everybody. I just got to remember that.

Today started with a birthday breakfast. His favorite......yogurt. Then a little play time, Nap time and off to start the celebration. For the kids birthdays we always go to Toys R Us for them to buy a present that they pick out. Brigham is to young for this concept so he didn't understand we were there for him.

He was jetting back and forth through the aisles so quickly it was hard for me to take pictures. He wasn't interested in the camera at all. Not like he normally is. We also went to Chick-fil-a for dinner.

Which was interesting to say the least!
Then it was back home for a few more presents and cake. The cake was adorable! A friend volunteered to make it for me. And I think it was appropriate for Brig because he loves anything with wheels.

The day finally ended with Brigham playing with the toy he picked out. I must say it is perfect for him. He loves cars and playing in them. And now he has his very own to play in. Which is great because sometimes I find him out in the garage playing in the van. Not the safest thing to be doing and not to mention the whole dead battery incident a few months ago. Hopefully this will solve that problem.

I love this big boy. He has brought such joy to my life. I hope he had a wonderful day. And here's to the next chapter in the book of life........ toddler hood!!
