Brendan received his ‘Airway Clearance Therapy’ Vest today and a woman from the company had to come out and train us on how to use it. We will be working on slowly introducing it to Brendan so he isn’t scared of it. It is a vest that inflates and then vibrates to help loosen mucus and clear Brendan’s lungs, especially when he is sick. It has a big loud machine and makes a lot of noise. It will be very helpful if we can get him to actually use it.

The weather was beautiful today so we had to go “OUT-SIIIDE!!” first thing this morning to play.

Trevor discovered that the neighbor’s dog can peek through an open brick in the wall

He still loves his own dogs

Time to try to get some sleep!

We started out this morning with a three mile walk. We had some trouble getting out the door, but we got the whole route done in a few minutes more than an hour. We even got rained on!

The boys did very well, they did not want to stop at all for pictures. They were eager to get out of the stroller when we got home.

We located the garbage truck on the walk so we knew it would be down our street any time. I tell Trevor to listen with his ears.

He has some time to kill, so he decides to sweep

The neighbor put down his winter grass seed so the birds have been really bad. Trevor is curious.

So I took him over there to chase the birds away

Brendan just wants to ring the doorbell

And we draw

Finally!

Brendan is not so sure about the garbage truck

Now he is happy

It doesn’t matter if we just spent hours playing outside, Trevor wants to go OUTSIDE!!!!

Evenings can be pretty crabby times. This play doesn’t last long until the pushing and crying starts. But I am happy for these moments anyway.

The moms group was meeting at a place called “Playtopia” today. It is a huge playground that is completely covered so the kids can be out of the sun. We got there early and it was fun for a little while. Trevor is really still too little for most of it. As it got later, the place got so packed that it was scary. So we had to go home. There were so many little kids and parents there, I never could figure out who was with the moms group. This happens a lot, there isn’t much organization!

I have been meaning to get the boys both some new sunglasses so we stopped today and picked some up.

Brendan had another good OT session again today and did a lot of playing in the sink. He also was happy to get some sunglasses.

He kept looking at his hands like they were somehow different.
