This day was eternal. Brendan was sleeping well until about 2am. That is when he started coughing. He needed suctioning every 15-30 minutes for the rest of the night. I finally picked him up at about 6am and we both slept in the chair for almost an hour. He slept through every suction and woke up seeming to feel better, although still with a drippy nose.
Trevor ended up in bed with Bill at 6am again. He is still not sleeping through the night at all and was coughing on and off.
I was looking forward to a nap with Brendan today. How fair is this?
Nap fail!! Awake and busy all afternoon!
Trevor is going through a phase where he thinks the things on the TV are actual physical objects, especially when we watch older videos of himself. He says, “I want to grab that” when he sees an old toy he wants.
He kept asking for the “cake” in the movie Wall-E. So at the grocery store today, I got him one. Brendan showed interest too.
“I am going to eat this!!!”
“Haha! Just kidding, where is Eins?”
Trevor wasn’t really impressed either.
The only way to get anything done without Bill’s help is to make the boys help. They like to “wash dishes”
Somehow it always turns in to a sink bath.
Because Trevor napped, he would not go to bed. He just fell asleep at 10:30PM. He got up and kept opening him door. So far tonight, he was hot, he was cold, his throat hurt, his tummy hurt, his elbow hurt, his covers were crooked, his fish tank was out of batteries, he wanted to be rocked, he wanted more songs, he wanted medicine, he wanted a drink, he just did not want to go to bed. We had to put him back and bed and close the door 20 times. I am not excited about how many times he will surely be up in the night.
Brendan’s nose dripped all day but he was otherwise well. Trevor only coughs when he is lying flat. Hopefully this all will pass.
Good morning from the East Coast! Whew…I was exhausted just reading your blog! Hoping that tonight all of you find it more restful!! Also hoping that the coughs and drippy noses are soon to be history. Brendan’s sooo cute on his shelf….love the nose presses!! Hang in there Tiffanie….heal Bill!! Prayers, hugs and love!! 🙂
I feel so bad for you having such a bad night and day. 🙁 I wish I was able to help in some way. I just began my second course of an antibiotic to get rid of the respiratory thing that really has worn me out. The side effects from the first one did me in after 5 days. Somehow, I think you’ve had it worse, being sick yourself and not being being able to get the rest you need to recover. I hope the boys get better soon, and Trevor starts sleeping through the night again.
I don’t know how you still managed to get such cute pictures. The Brendan pictures in the Tot cabinet are funny. They make him look like a little old man! 🙂
The boys always have fun sitting in the kitchen sink. You’re gonna need a bigger sink…;-)
I hope you had a good night and everyone got some sleep. It would be nice if you can get a group nap in today, too.
Get better wishes to everyone, and extra big hugs and love,
Gramma xxxx
Some days, 🙂 Peanuts 🙂 🙂 🙂
Some days, 🙁 Shells.
Hope that when this run of “Shell days” is over, there are an abundant number of “Peanut days”, to “compensate” 😉 🙂 🙂 🙂 Those two ARE a, – – – Serious, Set, of Sillies, in the Sink 😮 🙂 🙂
Or, maybe – – – – , it is a “Serious Set of Sink Sillies” 😉
