Third Birthday






Yes, the rumors are true. My sweet baby boy Finn is no longer a baby- he turned 3 yeas old today. Time has gone by so fast. It seems like yesterday that we were driving on an icy bridge to make it for my induction, because we couldn't wait to meet Finn.
Finn has had a busy but low-key birthday celebration this year. On Saturday, we had a small family party. The theme was Curious George, along with a homemade Curious George Cupcake Cake. Finn enjoyed being the center of attention and showing off his new dance-cam skills.
Today Finn had Mothers- Day-Out. We brought some Cars cupcakes to school so that he could enjoy them with his classmates. Then they sang Happy Birthday to him, which was really cute. Finn loves singing it to himself.
Tonight we went to Build-A-Bear for Finn's first time ever. he picked out a zebra that he named Marty, after the zebra from Madagascar. We put one of his pacifiers inside Marty while they were stuffing him, to symbolize Finn not needing a pacifier anymore. Finn was not so excited about that part, and will probably gnaw open the thing by morning to get it out. Finn also picked out a construction worker ensemble for Marty to wear.
We ate at a cute 50's style diner called The Purple Cow. He finished the night with a big purple milkshake. Marty had to eat with us, of course.

Finn is finally potty trained and just barely made it my goal for him to be potty trained by the age of three. I'm really proud of him. It took a lot of patience, candy, and bribery.

Happy Birthday Little Man!
