Year 2 – Week 46 – Day 7

Early to bed, early to rise. Putting the boys down early last night meant that they were up and ready to go before me. Trevor was up at 6:45am.

I had a dental appointment this morning at 8:00am so I got Trevor fed and handed him off to Daddy. They played MegaBlocks, changed batteries in clocks, and tried to still work while I had my teeth cleaned. I went in fearing a huge list of work to do like root canals, but I had only one cavity that they were able to fill right then so I don’t need to go back.

I made it home in time for therapy, Brendan’s new PT came today with his new/old OT. He did an awesome job, was very smiley, showed off all his stuff and even went to the new PT and let her hold him. Amazing the difference in the therapy session. Hopefully now that we have a good crew, we will actually get somewhere again.

I was sore, tired, cranky, and had a killer headache most of the day so I didn’t take pictures until dinner time. I kept the boys happy while I tried to cook by letting them try out watercolor painting. They are very serious little artists.

I wasn’t quite done with dinner when they got tired of painting, so I gave them markers. Washable dry erase markers on high chair trays was awesome until Trevor bit the tip off the marker.

He wasn’t the only one trying to eat the markers

Since he loves water, and he loved paint water, I tried some orange juice on Brendan’s tray and I gave him some special “paint brushes”

He fell for it for a while, he even tasted the orange juice by licking his hand and he didn’t get upset!

Then he wised up. Bye bye fry.

We had a little impromptu clapping contest. It started with a polite golf clap. We both were clapping, waiting to see if the other would stop first.

It led to full crinkle-face crazy clapping. Brendan won.

Trevor is signing that it is time to take a bath (the sign is like pretending you are scrubbing your chest with two bars of soap, up and down)

Evening routine complete, two boys in bed. All is well and quiet, and Brendan is on 2L!

  1. I love “crinkle face”! Brendan is so cute. He looked happy and healthy today. Yay for 2L ! 🙂
    The boys really get into their artwork! Such concentration!
    Trevor was right, it was bath time!
    It’s nice to hear it was a better day, not that going to the dentist is fun. Caleb and I are taking Great-Grandma to the dentist tomorrow.
    If Brendan likes the new therapist, that’s half the battle. I hope it continues.
    Lots of love to the little artists! (and Mom and Dad)
    Gramma xxxx

  2. seems like things are on an upswing! It’s good to see both boys looking healthier and concentrating so hard on their masterpieces. They might have misunderstood the idea of a self-portrait… Can’t wait to see more art!
