Year 4 – Week 16 – Day 7

It has been a busy week and it has been strange not doing a blog. Without it, I can’t even keep the days straight!

Tuesday, we had to hang around and wait for the oxygen refill, but then we went to the IDEA museum for a few hours. The boys loved it, I will have to take pictures next time we go!

Wednesday, Brendan had an evaluation for his therapies. He has been approved again for individual services in speech and feeding therapy so they had to do a thorough test on him to see where his development is. That will help them to choose the right therapist to work with him and to help set proper goals.
He was a real ace for his test. He was cooperative and loved answering the questions. In many areas, Brendan is advanced for his age. Obviously his speech is behind, but his little brain is working hard behind the quiet exterior. I have to take some new videos to show his latest skills.

Today, we did something crazy. I took the boys to a Valentines Day party with the moms’ group. There were 22 children aged 4 and under! We spent yesterday making Valentines for the card exchange and we spent 3.5 hours at the party! I couldn’t pull the boys away!

Trevor’s favorite place to play was the sand table.

Trevor delivered our valentine cards into the goody bags. Their bags were stuffed full of cool treats, sweets, and toys.

The host’s boy had a complete Paw Patrol collection. Brendan was thrilled to bits.

Trevor wanted to be outside and bounced until he fell over

Don’t you hate it when someone else wears the same outfit to a party? It is bad enough that your twin does it!!

Brendan doesn’t care!

The boys have a couple of friends in this group now that they liked seeing again. They most definitely did not want to go home! I expected them to be exhausted, but they played the rest of the day. The only one that wanted a nap is me!

Year 4 – Week 16 – Day 2

Here are the pics from Bill & Trevor’s weekend adventure! It was a great success. They went to Parker, AZ for the “Parker 425” desert off-road races.

Where there are piles of dirt, Trevor is happy!

Trailers were set up in camp just off of the pit road

Sometimes dirt and new friends and more important than cars and trucks

On the way home, they hit a nice little roadside attraction full of historic military vehicles

Trevor was still asking to go back to this truck when they got to the house.

I think Brendan really missed Trevor, he was so happy to have the other boys back home.
Trevor is a bit overstimulated and overtired, but he had an amazing time.

Year 4 – Week 15 – Day 7

We have a quick birthday message to share.

Trevor and Bill hit the road this afternoon, and if all goes well, they will not be back until Sunday. The house seems very strange!
Trevor is obviously practicing using ear plugs for the races tomorrow. They went to dinner where there was a live singer.

Brendan was a little upset to be left behind, so we went to his favorite place.

Wash the dishes and the kid at the same time.
