Trevor was up several times during the night, crying a sad sleepy cry. He would go right to sleep again if I picked him up and rocked him but he would wake up shortly after putting him down. He was up at 11:30, 1, and 3 if I remember right.

We had no appointments or obligations today so I took Trevor on a new adventure. Our penny collection bin was overflowing, so we went to a Coinstar machine to cash them in. (If you cash them in for a gift card, there is no fee at all, you get your full value!)
In the past we have gotten Amazon cards, but that wasn’t an option this time so we selected iTunes instead. Trevor will have to use it to buy the rest of the Yo Gabba Gabba episodes we don’t have. There was almost $33 in pennies!!

Trevor really likes coins. He has a piggy bank and whenever we find change in the laundry, he puts the coins in his pig. He has never gotten to shovel coins in to his pig though. He had a blast.

Brendan had a very good day. He took his own pictures today using the camera on my laptop.

He found the button that adds an effect called “dizzy”. The birds are animated until you click the camera button to take the picture.

He liked the birds!

Brendan wore his PMV for more than four hours today. We started it while Trevor was out running errands. This afternoon after naps, he wore it while I was in the other room with Trevor. Trevor could hear Brendan and I tried to help him just play and ignore it.
We brought them together and for about 25 minutes, Trevor did a really good job tolerating the noise. But when Brendan started to cry, it was all Trevor could handle and he just sobbed and cried. We were very proud of both of them though, it was very good progress in the right direction.

There was extreme silliness in the house tonight but I didn’t get pictures. Bill was sitting on the floor in the middle of the room and the boys were crawling circles around him, chasing each other with laughing fits. But the true hilarity started when Trevor found four cotton balls. They were the coolest toy he has EVER seen tonight. He would gather them up, run across the room, then throw them as hard as he could with a grunt/squeal that could only be rivaled by a women’s tennis match. He would laugh, Brendan was laughing so hard he fell over. He would gather them up again and repeat, and this went on for at least 30 minutes!
