Today was all about errands, errands, errands. We had to make some returns, straighten out some messes, and pick some things up – like my camera!! I am so happy to have it back. Tempe Camera gets a shout out from me because they got the job done for $50 less than their original estimate. It works beautifully and came back clean and looking like new.
We had to return some jeans to Sams Club due to a broken zipper. Trevor thought the return was taking too long, he told me where he wanted to go.
“Look! One for me and one for Gramma!”
When all was done, we made five stops today. Trevor was falling asleep in the car on the way home. I spent the last couple of miles talking and singing and trying my best to keep his attention! He woke up and needed a snack.
This is one way to take off your shoe
We picked up some seasonal things from the dollar store today. Bill and I have not ever been much in to decorating, but now the boys make it fun. Trevor had a great time putting up window clings.
Brendan had a great day too. He got an oxygen refill today, but he has been doing so awesome that only one of his three tanks was even used. The other two were still full! I am so thrilled to see him making progress again and I am trying hard to shed the fear I feel every morning when I wake up, wondering if he will be showing signs of a new illness. I always get a huge surge of relief when I come out and see his huge smile.
Yesterday, his OT brought some bubble wrap for him to pop. He does not like it, but he gave it a shot. (He loves the pop books though!)
He turns his back on things he doesn’t want now.

He will get this milk bag open one day
Trevor got an important phone call during dinner. Whenever he hears the ring, he will have these HUGE conversations while he holds his hand to his ear. But if you get him on a real phone with someone, he clams up and won’t say a word.
Somehow a few nights ago, Trevor found a sock on the floor and pulled it in to his crib. That sock has become his new “lovey” at night. It is a gray sock with this light rubbery non-skid on it. He has lots like it. But when he settles down to rock, he has to have this sock so he can rub it in his fingers. He still likes his burp rags, but he will cry if he can’t find his sock.
He will sign “socks” when he is getting ready for bed.
He talks to his stuffed animals too. Whatever keeps him happy so we can sleep!
Hahaha…twin packs of Snow Balls! They should last for awhile!
I love Trevor’s phone call video. His talking is hilarious! It’s funny how they decide on a blanket or burp rag or sock that is their favorite thing for comfort.
Brendan looks very relaxed with his legs up and crossed on his milk cart! I think you’re right that one day he’ll pop the bag open, and you know what they say about how far spilled milk goes!!
It sounds like you had a good day, and that’s always nice to see.
Lots of love and hugs,
Gramma xxxx
Trevor is such a thrifty shopper and all set for your mom’s next trip in. His video is wonderful, whatever he is saying is very important and he seems to use the same phrases over and over again. Brendan looks very relaxed with his feet propped on his food truck and he is so funny with his back turned to the things he doesn’t like.they both seem to be doing new things every day. It must be fun for you and Bill keeping up with it all. A new challenge every day.
