With Trevor in school, Brendan usually comes along with me on errands or we just go home and play. Without a very vocal brother around, Brendan has a chance to talk more (or at least be heard more!).
I haven’t posted too many videos of Brendan’s cute talking. He is really good at negotiations.

Here’s a video of him trying to talk me in to an expensive Duplo set. We don’t buy Duplos anymore, but Brendan loves everything Batman right now.

Lego playtime with singing 😀 🙂

The boys are having a phase where they sometimes like each other’s company. These moments of play are beautiful bits of time for me to do something productive. Then the crying starts again.

Trevor had a good day at school yesterday. When I got there to pick him up, the class was smearing piles of shaving cream all over a table and using their fingers to write letters. He was having a blast.
He knows his classmates names now. He tells me about a little girl that does not like to follow directions at all and tries to tell him what to do.:)

Today, Bailey let us know we should come down the street and meet her two new little kitties. They are about four months old and theirs names are Macaroni and Cheese.

The boys did not understand why being super excited, loud, and fast made the kittens run away. Everyone still had a good time.

I think this is Cheese!

Trevor especially liked fishing for kitties!

Safe place?

Guess again

Friday, Brendan had his routine checkup with the cardiologist which includes an echo and EKG. He hates the whole process. Since we were at the main hospital campus, we got “upgraded” to their best tech that did a great job getting Brendan through the long echo while getting the data he needed. He was the same guy that did the diagnostic echo that found Brendan’s heart defect just over four years ago.
Getting great pictures of the inside is so important and it helped Brendan’s doctor give him an A++ report. All defects considered, Brendan’s heart is really strong, no leaky valves, no narrowing of vessels, and has a good rhythm. All awesome news.

Saturday was the final finishing day of the skylight project. As soon as the installer left, Bill and I took over to finish the rest of the room. You can’t paint part of a ceiling so we did the whole thing.
We also fixed some very old holes and damage from the old fish tank!

We took down all the shelves and lights and medical stuff and patched and painted the top half of the wall as well.

The finished skylights!

The problem with a freshly updated room is that the rest of the house then wants to be done too. 😀 😀

Today we took the boys to the science center and we saw their first show in the planetarium. They were not entirely impressed and both of them would have happily left mid-show. But it was OK and they made it through. 😀
