I hate to even write this, but Brendan is sick again. Last night he just started with the super runny nose and dripping trach with lots of coughing. So far only a little oxygen is needed. I hope this is a different, milder virus that will be gone soon and not a relapse of the nasty one from December.

This week I have scheduled no less than 12 doctor and dentist appointments for me and the boys. It is going to be a busy time.

The first one off the list was Trevor at the dentist!

He got a full cleaning and exam and was such an awesome boy about it. He only got slightly upset at the taste of the gritty toothpaste, but that was over fast and he didn’t cry.

I was very proud of him for being so still, quiet, and cooperative, especially since I took Brendan along to watch the whole thing. Brendan’s appointment is next week and it is going to be the antithesis of this appointment.

But this dentist has a playground!

I took the boys to Toys’R’Us for a little reward afterwards. When I took the boys to the car, Brendan was reaching back in the shopping cart and trying to grab Trevor’s bag. A little pushing and noise followed until Trevor looks Brendan right in the eyes and says, “Brendan!! You are pushing my limits!!!”

I almost fell over. Never a dull moment. 🙂
