There are tons of pictures today! We haven’t made huge progress with oxygen or anything, but Brendan was feeling pretty well today and we had a busy day.

This morning when Trevor woke up, he was just extra emotional and frustrated. He wanted to hit Brendan and cried any time Brendan moved or made a sound. It was sad! The best thing to do for both boys in this instance is to separate them, so I took Trevor on a quick outing.

The public library had a little display this week by a local model train club, the “Big Train Operators”. Free and closeby made it the perfect outing. Trevor liked the trains!

He especially liked the long train hauling construction equipment

Oops, derailment

With Trevor worn out from his outing, Brendan says, “Finally! The popper is all mine!”

Tasty popper, Trevor won’t notice a few teeth marks

Maniacal laugh!!

On the last day of each month, we have made a goal to bake a homemade treat. The idea is for that treat to be the only indulgence we allow each month and the rest of the time we are trying to eat healthier. This time the boys came in to the kitchen to help me bake.

Trevor was good at sifting flour

Brendan got a turn too

Trevor got a special beater to lick. He is a pro

Brendan is a pro at throwing anything that might be food on the floor

He will lick on the clean, unused beaters

Trevor says, “I am full”

Brendan is spoiled rotten. He is still a great actor too and he uses his “skills” to try to get his way. He went through all these faces within a 5 minute window.

Superhero Brendan now has an alter-ego. This disguise is so cunning, nobody will recognize him!

Then Trevor stole his glasses

He recovers quickly when he gets the glasses back, the tears are still there

Silly

More silly

Oops, then we made him touch an olive

But an olive is OK if he can feed it to Daddy

As we put Brendan to bed tonight, his sats are looking good enough that we will try to turn him down to 4L. He did a good job with his therapist today on top of everything. Hopefully he will be feeling 100% for when his cousins come to visit in ten days!!
