Today totally backfired on me. Brendan was up really early and still has symptoms of a little cold. I hope it is going away and not something new coming. We just can’t shake the bug around here. Trevor “slept in” until almost 6:30am. I decided to try to burn some of his energy and take him on a big outing.

All of the best splash pads around open at 10am. Ridiculous! By 10am, we are sealed up in the air conditioning and hiding from the sun. We found only one pad that opened at 7am and we had the whole thing to ourselves.

As we were leaving, a bunch of other kids and families were showing up, but the sun was getting brutal and it was already 97 degrees.

All fresh and dry, we stopped at the playground near the house. Trevor is improving his hanging and he is getting really good at swinging across monkey bars with a little support. It won’t be long before he will do it all by himself.

He was excited about a big grill spatula someone left and he pretended to cook pine cones.

I had to remind him that this was the only set of dry clothes I had packed, the park sprinklers came on.

A little duck chasing

The big backfire is that Trevor did not sleep one wink of a nap. I could not believe it. So I had an early riser that was physically exhausted, he was a walking meltdown the rest of the day. I did not get to take many pictures of Brendan because I was dealing with Trevor.
Brendan had a good day. He spent many hours without oxygen, went on a big bike ride with his nurse, and watched “Frozen” a couple of times.
He was lounging tonight while I put Trevor to bed early.

We have nothing cool planned for the weekend, just chores, projects and hopefully some SLEEP!
