We had a lot on our plate to do today. Bill had to start with the yardwork. In order to keep the boys busy while he was out front, I set up a new layout for the trains.

They played together nicely for quite a while. Brendan is still a Brendanzilla and wants to tear the layout apart. Trevor really enjoys trying to put the cars on the trains.

Peek-a-boo

Brendan tries to stop the trains from going by

After lunch and nap time, they were right back at it. This time, Daddy was mowing in the back yard

Brendan keeps trying to get on the table

Trevor tries to give the train a drink of his milk

This is Trevor’s favorite train because it hauls green recycle bins.

He makes cute sound effects as he dumps the bins in to the train cars

I noticed Trevor making signs that he was going to poop this afternoon, so I grabbed his potty chair. He didn’t have any problem sitting on it in the living room and he pooped one little turd in his potty! This is 9 or 10 days in a row that he has gone on the potty successfully. He felt so proud, he pulled the drawer right out and wanted to go flush his accomplishment.
While we were out of the room for just a moment to flush and clap, Brendan decided he should climb in

“This isn’t how you do it?”

Trevor knows just what the potty is for and what to do now. But he is still totally unable or uninterested in telling me he has to go BEFORE he goes. Small successes though, we will take it!

We got a small amount of purging done in the old office room today too. That is a huge undertaking, but we are eager to get that playroom finished so we can use it!!
