Year 2 – Week 48 – Day 1

I will not allow a big green truck to toy with me again! This morning, I was loading Trevor in to the car to run some errands. I got him all buckled in and thought I heard the recycle truck in the neighborhood. So I let him out! The schedule has been so crazy, Tuesday they came for the garbage at 6:45am, and last week it was after 3:00pm.
After waiting and not hearing anything, I put him back in the car. But then I was sure it was about to come around the corner, so I took him out. We waited and waited, and nothing, so I buckled him back in. Then I got the warning text from Bailey that it was on our street, so he got back out!!

We got Brendan and his nurse outside in time to see it this time.

I can’t say Brendan is the fan that Trevor is, but maybe he just needs time!

Trevor and I were searching for a simple white wall shelf. We ended up at IKEA, so he had to have a meatball kids meal and some lingonberry juice for lunch. The frozen yogurt machine was broken!

Brendan did about 100 more laps pushing his box this morning, and he wore his PMV all day. (Except for the “nap” he took for 20 minutes!!) Pushing the box must have really helped because Brendan surprised us this afternoon with a new trick!

It seemed like a great day until about 4pm and then it went to pure insanity. Brendan was tired and crying, Trevor hated the sound of Brendan yelling and crying so he was having a total meltdown. The entire time I tried to cook and clean up the kitchen, the two of them were screaming. By the time dinner was ready to eat, nobody had an appetite so it went untouched.
Bath time stopped the screaming and both boys went to bed at a good time. The silence now is nice, it takes a while for the tension and headache to dissipate. We are so proud of Brendan for his big accomplishment. Now we are in big big trouble!

    Poor Trevor. He was a bit cranky, but he doesn’t know how wonderful it is that Brendan has a voice. He’ll get used to it and Brendan will control the sounds better in time.
    I’m sorry dinner was a disaster!
    Great day for Brendan!
    Lots of love to all,
