It was another “normal” day for our household. Physical therapist this morning, Bill working and going to appointments, boys going nuts, cleaning, cooking, picking up. I am really looking forward to a long shower when I am done with this blog! It was beautifully sunny and 70 degrees here today, I can hardly imagine the snow that is falling elsewhere!!
Trevor was trying to tell me something important.
He was trying to say that it is his Great Aunt Letty’s birthday! Giant hugs and slobbery kisses are on their way to the east coast!
Trevor pulled up a ‘chair’ and watched Brendan do PT. (Brendan did an AWESOME job, he worked very hard and was smiley and cooperative the whole time!)
Brendan sat with Trevor at lunch. He had already had his bath and I didn’t want him getting all messy with purees, so I gave him a bunch of goldfish crackers to play with. He was rattling them all around his tray and picking them up and tossing them. And then he put one in his mouth!
He wasn’t really thrilled with the result. He actually bit down and crunched the cracker in to bits!
He didn’t like the taste either!
I had to let him suction out his own mouth to get all the cracker.
Trevor just watches the free show
He gets a front row seat
The boys both like playing with blocks. Trevor has finally taken interest in stacking them himself.
He is an expert stacker, but Brendan is still interested in the crashing part!
Stacking…
Trevor does still love the crashing part!
Everyone may remember Trevor going to the post office last Tuesday to send mail. We sent a huge package to Kieran as cheap as it would go and it got there Monday. We sent a package to Gramma with priority 2-3day mail. The post office cashier accidentally typed a 9 in the zip code instead of a 6 and printed the label. I noticed that the receipt said “Los Angeles” and asked about it. He said, “oops, I will reprint the label right”
Well, he didn’t and the package ended up in the main postal hub in LA instead of Illinois. It waited there until Monday and finally left for IL on Tuesday and processed through the hub Wednesday morning. I thought for sure Gramma would have her package yesterday or today. When I didn’t hear about it, I checked on it again. Somehow, it WENT BACK TO LA again!!! Last night, the package got back to California and left again. It is going to be a well travelled package, maybe she will get it by Christmas!
Gotta LOVE the post office! Bill called on it and even the postal worker on the phone couldn’t figure it out!
I’m sure that whatever the package is, it will be worth the wait!
We have been buried in heavy wet snow, so 70 degrees and sunny sounds wonderful!
Brendan obviously does not like goldfish crackers! Trevor probably thinks he should have gotten the “cotton tails”!! I doubt Brendan wouldn’t have liked them either, but Daddy would have. 🙂
I’m glad to hear PT went well. They sure liked playing with the blocks.
Good luck with getting your shower, and hopefully a nice quiet night.
Hugs and kisses and lots of love,
Gramma
Good Morning from the, getting the Illinois snow storm + the coastal storm to make yet, another noreaster, East Coast!!!! Trevor, your Cheerios display has made me so cheery 🙂 🙂 🙂 Thank you!!!!!! And your cousins, Mikey, Emmy and Wynne made my birthday special too!! You know, Cheerios have many purposes…tell Mom, when you start potty training that you will just love to aim and dive-bomb them while they float in the potty! So Much fun! Brendan, gold fish are really yummy, don’t give up on them yet! Prayers, love and hugs! 🙂
Brendan’s goldfish face is priceless! I want to scoop both boys up and chomp on their cheeks! For now, virtual hugs will have to suffice.
