We are getting closer to all being healthy again, every day is an improvement. Today we just tried to rest and recuperate.

Brendan likes to wear Daddy’s shoes.

We broke out the giant bag of Mega Blocks again. Brendan wanted to be a Mega Block.

Trevor actually builds with them now. It is tough, because Brendan just wants to walk over and Brendanzilla whatever Trevor is trying to make. Then the crying and hitting starts.

Brendan can build, but he prefers to crash and make Trevor cry!

By the end of the day, Trevor had built a “beautiful castle”. With the exception of the solid yellow wall that I made, Trevor made this structure all by himself. He used every available block.

It is hard to tell in pictures, but I was thoroughly impressed with his sorting colors and how well the whole thing was locked together and stable!

Trevor had a visit to the doctor this afternoon. He amazed me with how well he handled his checkup and throat culture! He was so cooperative! When the culture was done, he wanted to keep pushing his tongue down with the depressor. It was funny.

The quick test that they run on the cultures came back negative for strep, but they will be sending it to the lab anyway. The doctor said his throat is red and gives it a 50/50 that it might be positive. Just knowing his throat may be sore explains why he is not sleeping and eating like normal.

Brendan is doing better today. Other than a very sore throat, I am feeling better too. I only have silly bathtub pictures for tonight.

Peek!

Not a very accurate method of determining body temperature

“Close your eyes, Trevor….”

Dump!

This is why I am always soaked after bath time

Brendan loves the water just as much as Trevor. We just have to be so much more careful. It is tough to keep him from going crazy!

I got to see my doctor today, and the verdict is strep. I picked up a z-pak and made Trevor an appointment to get in to see his pediatrician. He has had really low fevers and I thought he was doing better but he still wakes up in the night and is upset when he gets up from his nap. He probably needs medication too. Brendan’s Augmentin will cover him so I am glad he already started it.

For being sick boys, they were still awfully active and crazy. It is me that is feeling like I got runover by the garbage truck a few times.
