Brendan went to the grocery store this morning. I am so happy that he is enjoying getting out and about. It is funny that after all this time, I am finally hearing people saying, “Oh, are they twins?” One woman asked me which aisle was it that had such cute boys for sale. It was a normal day. Then…
5:45PM – eating dinner. Taco Tuesday! Yum
6:00PM – Bill has a work call, will be busy for a few hours.
6:02PM – Boys still in high chairs, I fill the sink and start washing dishes.
6:03PM – “Brendan, what is that on your face?….Oh….no”
6:04PM – Rush Brendan to the kitchen at arms length, realize the sink is full of dishes, stuff him in the small side, try to keep him from touching anything.
6:10PM – Mostly clean Brendan plays in bubble bath and tries to take dishes full of water and empty them over side.
6:12PM – Trevor finishes eating and says, “Trevor wants a sink bath too!!”
6:13PM – Both boys are in the sink, having an all out war over the sprayer when I realize there isn’t a towel in reach. I had to grab a dish towel from the side cabinet with my toes to get them out!
I may not have brought a towel, but what do you know, there is my camera on the counter! Glad I didn’t miss this!
The next time Brendan sees Gramma, he is going to be ready to drink his OWN frozen coke! He was taking sips of Coca-Cola today and loving it, and this evening he was showing total mastery of drinking water through a straw. Go Brendan!
Some cute Trevorisms today:
Trevor is playing with a car transporter and Brendan is edging in on it. Trevor looks at Brendan and says, “No! Brendan! Don’t touch this! It is hot. It will burn you. Do you want an owie?”
Later, Trevor is unloading the transporter and puts down the ramp in the back. He gets up and says, “I have an idea!” and he races off to the playroom. He comes back with a little plastic traffic cone and uses it to carefully support the bottom of the ramp – just like he sees Bill do with the ramp with support cones on the trailer. I was seriously impressed!
I love the way kids’ brains work, especially at this age. The cuteness is almost enough to balance the CRAZY!
You get the supermom award for today for sure. Two boys in a sink with a sprayer and no towel…..Great pictures – I agree better a camera than a towel he he he so cute
Brendan keeps trying to video chat with me – maybe he was trying to recruit me to his side of the water sprayer battle? 🙂 I cannot wait to see them again soon! I also love watching how they learn and figure things out, totally on their own. Trevor-isms make me laugh. 🙂
Good Morning from The Lake House!!! OMG this post is wonderful!!!! The sprayer duel hysterical!! Brings on lots of smiles!! Tiffanie, you are amazing!! Brendan using the straw!!!!!!! Going on errands with you too….how wonderful!! Prayers, hugs and love!! 🙂
It may not be a good thing that Brendan and Trevor “don’t know the *right* things” to learn, – – – – but it is a great thing to see them # learning #.
“The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve”
Gramma will be more than happy to get Brendan his OWN frozen coke. Right, Aunt Letty and Uncle Rich? When you visited in the snowstorm in January, we introduced you to frozen coke! Yay Brendan, good job with a straw! 🙂
Funny water fight pictures! I showed Great-Grandma the pictures today, and she was very amused and got a good laugh. She’s having a difficult time getting well enough to move to rehab.
Lots of love and hugs,
Gramma xxxx
