Brigham had quite the Birthday. I don't know if he understood what it was all about when the day started, but by the end of the day he was definitely a birthday believer.
Holly bought him a Winnie the Pooh birthday balloon. He carried it around all day telling anyone that would listen, "My Birday!"
The whole DeVore clan came over for cake and ice cream. We all sang to him and he loved that. He couldn't quite blow the candles out but he tried really hard.
Then the presents started. He didn't know what it was all about but he caught on quickly. His eyes would get big with each gift that came out. Some highlights were:
• A Poohbah musical toy that Brigham loved and which caused major emotional trauma to Jacob (it is now hidden)
• A raw piece of steak (from Trevor and Heather of course - they also gave him gourmet popcorn)
• Several airplanes (airplanes are his latest kick)
• A Spiderman backpack, a wagon full of Duplos and a broom (that may sound weird but he was absolutely thrilled)
• And an airport and train play sets
There were other things too but I can't remember them right now. The best was that we put the two play sets in the family office to get them out of the way. They were still in their boxes. We were trying to get Brigham down to bed when he opened the office door and started carrying the play sets out to the living room. It was hilarious. The play set boxes were about as big as he is. He was staggering under the weight and tipping this way and that but he got them both out there.
The next morning he woke up and the first thing he said was, "My birday!" Sorry bub. You only get that once a year.
