This November Jefferson Amal turned 3 years old! We celebrated his "unbirthday" in the summer with family and friends, so we just spent his birthday week doing things he likes and seeing grandparents. We got birthday ice cream, a birthday hotdog, made birthday cup cakes and of course took a ride on trax to the Train Shop. He is starting to understand birthdays more and seemed to love his special week. We had a lovely "Friendsgiving" with a bunch of our friends and played an intense girls against boys game of charades- boys barely won. We decided during the actual week of Thanksgiving to skip events and stay home to potty train Jefferson, but we were able to have an early Thanksgiving with our Jefferson family where Brad and I showed off our first lattice apple pie. It was not nearly as hard to make as we thought. And the best part of the month was that Jefferson is officially Potty Trained and proud of it. He has nearly memorized the entire book- "Big Boy Underpants" and is so excited to keep his Thomas the Train underwear clean and dry. He also started getting the hang of the balance bike his cousin let him borrow and will cruise around the park like a pro.
