Stress levels are high today. We have another fill-in nurse training tomorrow and yet another new person coming on Monday. My feelings were hurt by someone I thought I could depend on, and I have more tough choices to make. The anxiety rubs off on the boys and they have been feeling it too, so it makes the day tougher. All the new people in and out causes a lot of tension.

All that aside, we want to wish a very happy birthday to Aunt Shannon. Trevor had a birthday message for her with a quote from “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”.

We had some issues with coloring time

I got a short break while Trevor took apart cars

What do you do when you have cabin fever because of the heat, and you need to wear out boys so that they sleep?

Then when you tell them it is time to stop… melt down

When Trevor feels insecure, he goes on a rampage. Tonight he unloaded the whole bookshelf.

We tried to get Brendan to say “happy birthday” too but he just was too distracted by what Trevor was doing. He did show off the name sign that he created for himself. He signs “Brendanzilla” by making the sign for the letter Z accompanied by a roar.

Overtired boys lead to really big melt downs. You probably didn’t think sweet little Brendan was capable of this. He was mad because I took him out of his bath before he was ready. We tried to redirect him and comfort him and at a certain point, we just have to let him get it out.
