We did some shopping today. Trevor and I ran around looking for shoes for Brendan. I ended up getting them each a pair of good sandals. We put gas in the car and Trevor insisted we get a car wash too.

Trevor has become fascinated with the lawn mower and the idea of putting gas in machinery. He figured out how to open the gas cap on the real mower and then told Bill that it was out of gas. He tries to find hoses or tubes and put them in to give it a “refill”.
To help redirect this interest to something safer, we stopped and picked up some lawn mowers. I had to get two in order to avoid the battle that would surely arise. Brendan liked the one that has the poppers like his corn popper.

Trevor was in LOVE with the one that made bubbles

On your mark…. get set….

GO!!!

You have to go pretty fast to make the bubbles, but this was no problem for Trevor

Brendan pushed his mower around, but Trevor must have done 150 back-and-forths across the lawn

Brendan is trying out his new shoes. They are very similar to his old sandals, just a much better quality.

Trevor is thrilled to help “put gas” in Brendan’s mower. The little gas can is cute.

I wish I had this much enthusiasm for mowing

He mows off in to the sunset, leaving his trail of bubbles behind him. After dinner, we had to go outside again for another 50 laps.

And sometimes when the moon is full, you can still here the sounds of that rotary motor and the faint pop…pop…pop

Brendan had PT this morning. He has had a tendency to roll his left ankle and we were having him evaluated. The good news is that it just seems like he needs some better shoes and some strengthening exercises. We will have to go shoe shopping.

Other than doing tons of laundry, it was a fairly lazy day. Trevor had his special TV watching set up all ready.

There is an episode of Curious George that makes him giggle a lot.

Brendan is back to not eating anything, even from the pouches.

“I’ll just put this lid back on”

He did like playing with these cold little sweet peppers.

We practiced colors and he would put them to his lips to feel the cold

He is helping me cook dinner and sorting dry egg noodles. He was pouring them from one cup to another.

Trevor spent about two hours outside today digging in dirt with a spade, and Brendan pushed the shopping cart around the yard. It is supposed to potentially be 88 degrees on Saturday! We are enjoying the beautiful weather while we can. Sorry, snow-covered family! Hope everyone stays safe through the next round of storms.

Busy Tuesday was back today. We had a big meeting this morning to do all of the official paperwork and updates for Brendan’s continuing services. Calling that a frustrating process is an understatement.
Garbage day plus oxygen refills topped off the morning.

Brendan wasn’t so keen on wearing his vest this morning, he was too busy. But he sure looked cute!

He kept Trevor company while waiting for the garbage truck

Brendan gave up waiting. Trevor was prepared to wait it out

I think the truck driver even chuckled

“Trevor do it!!!” means that the can ended up in the lawn. He didn’t want me to touch it and help him

Trevor really wanted to drive Daddy’s truck!

Little monkeys always want to be climbing

They actually shared an iGuy nicely for more than 3 seconds

The after-bath antics were a riot tonight. We play the “tip over Brendan” game in bed often. Brendan loves it. Trevor loves that he was allowed to push Brendan too. They were SO CUTE, I missed recording some of the best part.
