Year 2 – Week 20 – Day 5

Could I get some eggs with that morning ham?

He is getting better at pulling up to kneel all by himself.

“Gee, Brendan, what do you want to do tonight?”
“The same thing we do every night, Mommy – try to take over the world!” Mwahahahaha

Trevor had a crabby morning, so I devised a plan for a new secret project. It involved running to Sam’s Club. (But not buying Cotton Tails!)

Gramma probably remembers the last time we put these shoes on Trevor. His feet disappeared in them. I think they are size 5! We could see 90 degree weather by the end of this week, he might need some new sandals soon!

Silliness and standing

Brendan is so proud!

Ah, brotherly love

Brendan is just super super thrilled to be able to root in the toy box and pick out what he wants!

I was trying to get Trevor to stand next to the toy box so I could get the same picture as above, only with the boys switched. He kept walking away before I could take the picture. So instead of putting him there, I just told him “Go say hi to Brendan”.
Trevor’s daily bedtime routine includes going over to Daddy and getting a goodnight kiss and then I dip him down so he can give his brother a little head bonk and say good night. Trevor must have thought I said “Say good night to Brendan” because he walked over all on his own and gave him a kiss on the cheek! It was the cutest thing I ever saw!

Brendan-in-the-box – careful, this one bites

Trevor doesn’t know whether to read the book or drive the tractor around the room!

When Brendan finally took a nap this afternoon, he just wouldn’t sleep in bed. He had to be held!

If you can’t beat’em, join’em!!

Year 2 – Week 20 – Day 4

Any day that starts with ham face should be a good day.

“Watch what happens when I pull the alligator by the tail..”

“Rats! He got away!”

Trevor brought home a new ball from the grocery store today and Brendan was excited.

Trevor had a busy morning and took a good nap but he woke up a bit cranky!

“I am just going to pout over here and play with my truck”

There, all better.

I took Trevor outside before dinner and walked him around to get the crabby out. He walked all by himself all the way to the stop sign on the corner and back to the house. Then he was hungry!!
After dinner, he had his very first haircut. It isn’t like there was any real big cutting to do. He just had these strange super long wispy patches of baby hairs here and there that needed trimming.

“Just a LITTLE off the top, please!”

All done, he sat still and did a great job letting me mess with his head. I just had to give him the water squirt bottle.

Trouble trouble trouble trouble trouble!

Brendan watches Trevor and makes notes.

And another weekend is gone!

Year 2 – Week 20 – Day 3

There are not too many pictures today.

Brendan thinks that watching Yo Gabba Gabba means you also need to eat Yo Gabba Gabba.

Today was sort and clean the toys day again. Everything came out of all the toyboxes and bins and jugs and the dog hair, milk spills and other miscellaneous stickiness was cleaned up. I boxed up a bunch of toys to put away so that they will be “new” again later. We made sure everything had its pieces and put it all away. The boys were very “helpful”.

I made Brendan work on his kneeling. He rewarded me by climbing up to the rail of his crib and kneeling all by himself tonight. We are going to have to lower his mattress very soon!

Soon Brendan will be chasing Trevor around! He better enjoy his alone time while it lasts.
