August birthday rush continues today as we celebrate Brian's 3rd birthday AND Grandpa H's birthday too!!!!! Today was a school day for Brian but after he had his breakfast, he still managed to have enough time to open up a couple presents!
After school, naps and some more play time, it was time for Brian's special birthday dinner. With two boys who both love trains, they were both thrilled that we went back to the same restaurant where we had Spencer's birthday dinner. Once again, the All Aboard Diner in Downers Grove was a huge success with the boys......and Mommy and Daddy had a good time too! While we were waiting a few minutes for there to be space available for us to sit at the counter, Brian looked at Mommy and said "Mommy, I'm ready for my birthday." After we convinced him that we were still going to celebrate his birthday, we were just waiting for a place to sit we decided to distract him with some other conversation. Daddy asked Brian what he was going to have for dinner. This seemed like a straightforward question and we anticipated hearing.....a hot dog, or a grilled cheese sandwich. Without any hesitation he responded "Vanilla". Vanilla being the choice of flavor birthday cupcake he would get after his meal. Once we were seated, the look on Brian's face as the train rounded the corner carrying his food was absolutely precious!
The only thing that could have made this moment more special would have been with the birthday Grandpa and the birthday Brian could have celebrated together! Maybe next year! Happy Birthday Brian and Grandpa......we love you both!!!
