Stupid Mondays!!! It was one of those days where I was ready for it to be over at 10am. I am so tired.
It started out this morning at 3:30am when the water sensor “Leak Frogs” under our kitchen sink starting alarming. Our RO filter system cracked in one of filter canisters and it was spraying a fine stream of water. Bill got up and took care of it all.
Then Trevor got up at 6:00am in a rage. He would not go back to sleep but Brendan was still sleeping so I didn’t want to take him out to the living room. He sat in bed with me and watched Bambi quietly on TV for a while until his normal breakfast time.
There must be a secret tooth calendar somewhere I don’t know about. Both Brendan and Trevor are cutting two molars at the same time and they are making it well known that it doesn’t feel good. Brendan has been a fountain of drool and he keeps shoving his fingers in his mouth to rub the sore gums but he ends up gagging himself and throwing up big globs of drool.
Trevor was just a whining crabby mess today! I could not keep him happy. Their high anxiety day just wore me out so fast.
I tried to settle them with Yo Gabba Gabba but it only worked for a short time.

Brendan claims the big box, Trevor gets the drawer.

I am working with Trevor to practice using utensils to self feed. He is pretty good at scooping with a spoon, although he likes to just pick up the puree with his hand and shove it in his mouth!

He like to stab his bites of bagel and cream cheese. He is better at getting that in his mouth.

He prefers the fast way of eating with hands! Forks and purees don’t really work.

Brendan played in the jungle while Trevor ate lunch. He did eat 5-6 bites of green beans again today!

Trevor was just so cranky that I decided to take him around the block. It gave him an outing and Brendan a little peace. It was a little cold though so I had to wrap him up!

I am super sleepy now, Brendan is wide awake and Trevor went to bed. Hopefully he sleeps in tomorrow!


So sorry to hear you had a bad day. I hope tomorrow brings a new happier day for everyone.
I wish you all a lot of rest. I’m not looking forward to my visit to the oral surgeon very early in the morning, so I need to go to bed, too.
Sending you lots of love, hugs, and many positive vibes for a better day.

Hopefully everyone is well rested and not crabby today!
Oddly enough, I JUST thought about your water filter this morning (before reading the blog). Is it a rule that water leaks have to happen in the middle of the night?
Yay Brendan, eating green beans!
Sending get better tooth vibes out today to Li’l B and T and to Gramma!
They do have “their days”. Then again, Brendan in the jungle………
Those pictures tell a completely different story. He looks so happy, at peace with the world, and having fun ” figuring things out”.
Yes, they have their days, but they also have their *moments*. 😉 🙂
I’ll add my hopes that a better day is close at hand.
Love you Tiffanie, you never stop amazing me.
