Today was Mommy Monday Madness Day. We have no day help and Bill is very busy with work, so I get to manage the monsters alone. Bill takes a lunch break to come out and rock Brendan while I put Trevor down for a nap. Today was brutal. The floor crib is working well right now for Trevor so we are not going to rush and change it. I hope we can buy more time with this setup, I just have to find a way to make it a little better.

We bought some bananas yesterday. Trevor LOVES banana but they don’t love him back so we have to have them only occasionally. He loves them so much he gives them a kiss.

And a hug! He will devour a whole banana and if the others are visible on the counter, he will beg and plead for a second one. He yells “Bayaya!! Peel! Peel!” (Kayla would be proud)

I want to do good things with the boys, but they make it nearly impossible. Trevor loves to read books so I thought I had Brendan playing nicely and tried to read to Trevor. Nope! Sorry! Put the book down and capture the monkey!

I got them watching “Baby Signing Time” and working on signs with me, sitting so nicely together.

Trevor was going to give Brendan a kiss (to apologize for the brutal tackle earlier) but he got swatted away!

They were best friends and worst enemies today. Trevor charged Brendan who was sitting on the floor, he planted both hands on Brendan’s shoulders and shoved him over, landing on top of him and rolling. How do babies know how to do these fancy maneuvers?!
Brendan pursued Trevor all day trying to take toys away. You could not stop him (in the video below).
Yet, they chased and giggled and talked and bonked heads all cute all day too.

Here’s a sample of today’s mayhem.

The constant crying when they don’t get their way wears us down so fast. There is a ton of cleanup still to do tonight, dishes in the sink, formula to make, and laundry to put away. All I want to do is take a long hot shower and go to bed!!
