Things are finally starting to get back to “normal”. Brendan is not back to his full food settings yet, but he is making better progress now and his oxygen needs are more like they were before.
I kept the boys busy this morning while Bill got the ceiling in the playroom textured. I hate the smell of wet drywall mud, but it smells like progress! Tomorrow we hope to tape and roll primer (if the boys cooperate!)

Having Trevor pinned in baby jail with Brendan and I means he didn’t “get his wiggles out”. So right before lunch, I decided to take him for a walk.

We went around the whole block which is 3/4 of a mile! He kept us this pace the whole trip, and still fought his nap time. (sorry for shaky video, walking with cell phone camera = crappy quality!)

Trevor is a non-stop talker now. He comes out with the best stuff too, it makes me smile. He talked all day about how fire hydrants are where the fire trucks plug in their hoses.

He stopped at Maggie Moo’s house, but she wasn’t outside.

We won’t talk about why Brendan had to have a sink bath. It may be related to him not pooping for more than two days.

Trevor went to Lowes with me today for more painting supplies. He was such an awesome boy in the store, I told him he could have an ice cream cone.

Brendan just wanted the cone part

He licked the chocolate dip

It is my turn on the cot tonight. I hope the boys both sleep through the night.

The trouble with no-nurse days is that our activities are limited to what I can safely handle with the two boys. We had a pretty good day, but it was low key, so nap/bedtimes are a challenge. I try to wear them out!

It was “The Brendan Cooking Show” this morning

Then Trevor came along with his RC Car and plowed everything off of the table!

We pulled out a cart of train stuff. Brendan just wanted the cart.

Trevor pushed some trains around.

Not much else to talk about today, I’d rather it be a dull blog than more drama!

We climbed a laundry mountain today, so there isn’t much new to share. There are just a few pictures from outside play today.

Trevor demonstrates how he has outgrown this hippo

Brendan is getting ready to join us outside

Smoosh faces

The boys discovered the new storage box is useful for peering in to the window to see what Daddy is doing

Trevor finds brooms wherever you hide them

He worked hard, he takes a break on the dog bed

Brendan continues to be “better but still not 100%”. Trevor is battling nap and bed times more every day. He needs a lot of activity in order to want to sleep.
We took a nice bike ride, but that doesn’t wear him out as much as it does me!

We hope everyone getting buried in snow back east stays safe and warm.
