Brendan had therapy today. I found him a bag of “Funyuns – Chile & Limón”
They are pretty spicy and sour with lime!

Once he got used to them, then he really liked them!

Trevor cut the cheese

He likes his little knife that he got at IKEA

He’s on top of the world

Taking care of those pesky toes with his favorite pliers

Dr. Trevor is in the house.

Several errands, oxygen refills, baking, too much out-of-state business haunting Gramma on vacation, packages with errors, and two active attention seeking boys… busy day!

Trevor peeled his own apple for breakfast

We started with a run to Kohls for a sale with an awesome coupon. I got some summer outfits for Trevor. 3T sized shirts for length and 18mo sized shorts for his skinny butt! Thank goodness for mix and match coordinates.

Then we took Gramma on a run to “The Big Blue IKEA”. We got there right at 10am and Trevor was already begging to go upstairs and get meatballs for lunch.
We had a mission to find a light for cousin Caleb. Success!

Trevor wanted a few other things too.

We love IKEA shopping carts and their smooth four-wheel drive

He chowed down on his meatball/mashed potato kids meal

He bought Gramma a frozen yogurt

Brendan had to stay home and eat mail trucks

Part of his sensory therapy is played with his face

Brendan doesn’t smile enough for the blog, so I was trying to help him out!

Oh no! It is stuck that way!

Now he is signing that he is crying

Trevor got to go to two tool stores and the park with Bill this afternoon. He was a very busy boy!

For a Monday, it was a really good day. No barfing! We enjoyed being outside. I think Gramma might be thawing from the IL weather, although it was still chilly overnight.

Everyone had to start with checking their email in the morning

Gramma brought the boys some new books that they love. Brendan is being a little mean to Gramma and only wants to see her on his terms. He won’t let her pick him up and cuddle him yet.

The boys want to drive, but the jeep needs a little “work” first

Natural little mechanics

Trevor got distracted by his favorite dirt corner

Brendan had nobody to drive him around! But he was cool…

He figured out how to do it himself!!

There was some trampoline time!

And swinging!

Trevor’s cookies were so popular, he decided he had to make some for Gramma

He is hammering up Dark Chocolate Peanut M&Ms instead of using chocolate chips this time

What Trevor does best in the kitchen – taste testing

Trevor just could not take a nap this afternoon. He must be too excited. He was tired tonight but nowhere near as emotional as yesterday. We were so impressed with how active and funny Brendan was today.
