Year 3 – Week 20 – Day 1

We started the day with a visit to the pediatrician to follow up on Brendan’s ear. The doc says that it looked perfect.
Brendan was kind enough to douse my lap with throw-up this morning, and then he also had a really bad spell in front of the doctor. That actually helped him to understand what Brendan is going through. The doc made a phone call to Brendan’s GI doc and we have a new feeding plan again. Brendan has gained just over 3lbs in the last 5 weeks, so I think they were pushing him too hard with calories.
He is also going to start a new medication to help his motility and hopefully reduce his reflux.

He had a pretty good day after the morning trip. We are all glad because tonight we had planned another campout in “Gramma’s House”. This time, we started earlier in the evening so that we could be sure to know what we need for a trip. Every time we took something from the house to the trailer, we wrote a list. That will be our checklist for the real trip.

They get REALLY crazy and excited about their “slumber party”

That beam where Trevor is grabbing was a hazard. Trevor would suddenly stand up in the bed under it and he would crack his head on it. 3 times… you would think he would learn.

We learned that it is easy to give baths in the shower stall. I used to use this big party tub for making fish food. 🙂

Brendan really enjoyed it.

Trevor had a blast too, exploring all the ways he could fit in the new tub.

They are right now trying to wind down from all the insanity, watching a video on an iGuy. We are about to try to put them in their beds.

Here’s hoping for a good night!

Year 3 – Week 19 – Day 6

I had to take advantage of the good weather. When the east finally gets unburied from the snow, they will be the ones laughing at us frying in the heat.

I took Trevor to the zoo, and we almost had the whole place to ourselves.

Run for the noodle!!! A guy by the noodle was trying to tell me that a few weeks ago, some kid climbed up and fell inside the noodle and got stuck. But I think both ends are closed anyway, so it just is a good story.

We did our usual circuit that took us to the kid’s area.

Trevor wants “orange medicine” for his lips. I love Burts Bees original lip balm too, now I have to share it.

They still don’t fit. They will be screaming down the road on their balance bikes before their legs are long enough to peddle this trike.
