Year 3 – Week 29 – Day 5

Today started at 4:30am with Trevor waking up. I really hope that he sleeps through the night tonight because we are working in a brain fog this week. Brendan had a long morning too and got tired of waiting for Trevor to take a nap. Poor little guy!

Bill and Trevor went to Game Stop for a fun outing and came home with a $9 Xbox game of Wall-E!

They were very interested.

They both really got a kick out of being able to control Wall-E and Eve around the screen. It is a cute game.

Year 3 – Week 29 – Day 4

There were a lot of challenges today. Last night, Trevor went to bed perfectly at 8PM and woke up 2.5hrs later with a low grade fever. He must have just felt terrible, because he simply could not lie still and sleep. He was restless, he would cry if I set him down. I gave up at 3am and just climbed into his bed to try to get some sleep. By 6am, we were up for the day.
Today we had all the big meetings about Brendan’s care plan and therapies. We very nearly lost an 8hr nursing shift but they took pity on me and allowed us to keep it one more cycle. We can count on losing it on the next review period, and probably more. I hope that things are a lot different by then.

We started talking about Brendan starting preschool. He is too young to be considered for the session that starts this fall with his October birthday, but this summer we will be meeting with the local school district to discuss his options. The whole idea is so strange and a bit scary!

Trevor seems a bit better tonight, but the lack of sleep really affects him. (Me too!)

Brendan has a new favorite toy ever. He is so attached to Buzz Lightyear. He will carry him around all day, cuddle him, fly him, pretend like he is walking, swing him, tap him, shake hands, etc. I tried to capture the cuteness, but he wouldn’t do the best stuff for the camera!

Year 3 – Week 29 – Day 3

I want to wish a very happy Mother’s Day to my mom, all of my sisters, and all of the rest of the mom-readers out there. Mother’s Day here was nothing unusual. We were trying to recover from having company, but I didn’t feel like tackling the mountain of laundry or sorting out toys. I felt pretty crappy all day with a sinus headache and sore throat but everyone else is doing OK. My Mother’s Day gift was getting to go to bed at 9PM last night.

We enjoyed our dinner out on the patio again. We grilled some cheeseburgers and enjoyed the nice weather.

That is what I thought

It should have been ice cream truck night, but he was off for the holiday. We had to get out our own treats.

Cheers!

Chomp!

Trevor is adorable, even with a face covered in fudge pop, dirt, chalk, mustard, and blue popsicle.

Lastly, a video.

Happy Mother’s Day!
