The chaos of the daily grind continues. I found out that we had a cardiology appointment today that I didn’t make and had to reschedule and the sleep clinic called expecting Brendan tonight for his sleep study even though that was rescheduled due to his illness.
We are trying to iron out our new nursing schedule and get used to the changes in the day/night hours. I did do something fun with Trevor this morning and it was really nice to get back to doing something adventurous.
Trevor started the day for me by waking up screaming at 5:20am. He wouldn’t go back to sleep, but he did just let me cuddle him and read books and watch videos until 6am before we went out.
Being up early was the best time to go outside.
Outside needed some work though, we took the hose and blasted down the whole play area and mopped the pads. Trevor was a huge help of course!
In cleaning up outside, we found the last missing magnet letter under the slide!
After breakfast, we decided we needed a fun outing. I decided to take Trevor to visit the “Hall Of Flame!” For a kid that loves trucks, how could you go wrong with a firefighting museum with a $6 admission and free kids under 3?
It seems like they have a hundred trucks and carriages on display. It is a pretty amazing collection of vehicles. We had the whole place to ourselves first thing. A construction crew down the street had accidentally dug into one of the electrical mains for the area and most of the museum was without power and AC. It was too bad, but we still enjoyed it!
Trevor says, “What are these, I thought we were coming to see trucks?”
“This is better!” In the whole place, there is one large truck that kids are allowed to climb all over.
Trevor trying to put the hat on by himself. It was a good effort!
They have a dress up section for kids. Trevor is the cutest little fireman I have ever seen!
Big dog puzzle kept Trevor entertained for a while
Right as we were getting ready to leave, two bigs schools buses pulled up and 65 kids (5-7yr olds I think) and 9 adults in matching shirts piled out. Trevor was mesmerized!
When we got home, Trevor was thirsty. He thought Eins needed a drink too.
Brendan had fun ringing the chimes while Trevor had lunch.
Trevor took a 3.5hr nap! I was so exhausted, I crashed too and slept an hour and a half.
Trevor did bring a firetruck home for Brendan because he missed out on the fun.
Brendan loved it. It was THE TOY of the day.
Trevor stole it back at every opportunity.
Despite the good naps today, the boys both went to bed at a reasonable hour. Lets hope they sleep past 6 at least!
