The services and burial for Grandpa Jack took place today. We owe a huge thank you to Christine and Johnathon for giving so much of their time to be at our house today with me and the boys so that Bill could spend the day with his family and friends.
We also appreciate the huge turnout today at the funeral and all the people that put forth effort to prepare a wonderful memorial.

At home today, Brendan was experiencing his worst withdrawal symptoms since we began weaning Ativan. He has not had a dose in more than 48 hours now and it is really taking its toll on him. He was so jumpy, sensitive, full of tears, nervous, restless… it goes on. He was so tired and just couldn’t sleep. I am hoping that these symptoms are gone quickly.

Trevor had a great day. After his breakfast and bath, he will sit quietly and watch about 15min of “The Lorax” while he drinks his milk. I never thought I would be the mom that parks a child in front of the television, but it is the only way I can get things done sometimes, especially when Brendan is so needy. Trevor’s movie watching chair is constantly evolving.

You can just tell that Brendan didn’t get a good night of sleep.

While I had my hands full with Brendan, Trevor managed to get in to a predicament. It looked so funny that instead of helping him out, I had to grab the camera. My mind immediately went to the ‘Luke stuffed in to the belly of the tauntaun for warmth’ scene from “The Empire Strikes Back”!

He already pushes the horse all around the living room like he does with his trucks. Now I guess he figures it can serve as a snack table too!

“What? Isn’t this called riding sidesaddle?”

After Brendan’s bath, he took a short nap and then he woke up happy. He was pretty silly for about an hour and then he went back to being cranky and restless. No matter how bad his days are, he always is good for at least one smile.

Trevor had a blast playing with Johnathon and Christine and he even let her rock him to sleep tonight for bed. We hope that Brendan is able to get a good night of rest but he isn’t off to a great start. He slept three hours tonight as long as I held him and didn’t move.
He is up and being silly now with Bill!
