Bill had to go to the office this morning, so when the night nurse left at 7am, the boys were all mine. Since Trevor slept until 7, that means he had to share his routine with his brother! They sat in high chairs together for breakfast and all that was fine. But I can’t be in the other room bathing Trevor while Brendan is awake, so I had to include Brendan in the bath time fun! Both boys seemed to like it.

Later this morning, they had gross diapers at the exact same time. Getting them both changed was fun.

And then the slapping started…

The new car seat #1 arrived today! We ordered just one to make sure it would fit and work out before we bought a second one, just in case we had to return it. Trevor was awe struck by its coolness.

Although really it was the box that was cool!

Brendan just sat off to himself and played. He loves using the bouncy chair like a little play desk for his toys.

The seat BARELY fits rear facing in the back seat of the truck. And we have come to realize that no adult is going to fit between the two boys now when they are in full size seats.

Trevor never did get dressed today. He wasn’t going anywhere, just test fitting.

We are going to have to figure out a new plan for family travel. If Brendan requires someone in the back seat with him, Trevor will just not be able to go. We’ll have to just have someone sit up front and pull over if the situation requires it. I never thought an SUV and a truck would be too small for a family of four!


Loved video-chatting with the boys today. They definitely keep you busy!
The new carseat looks big! It’s nice looking. The backseat of Bill’s truck is big, it’s hard to believe that they don’t fit with a person in the middle! Brendan will just have to hurry and not need someone next to him when he rides in the car.
If Trevor doesn’t wear clothes, and Brendan doesn’t wear clothes, it saves on laundry! 🙂
The boys are looking good on video. I love those smiles I see. Brendan is doing so well sitting up, and playing with his toys (and slapping his brother, and his own head!). I wonder if smacking his brother feels like smacking his head, except one hurts Trevor, and one hurts his head? 🙂
Can’t wait to see you all next week. My suitcase gets fuller every day!
Love and hugs to all,
Gramma
