Today was full of randomness so I have a lot of pictures. I had to leave a bunch of cute ones out!

Trevor is practicing his balance bike. He is riding it up and down the halls, turning around in his room, ringing the bell and doing great! He just walks it, but it doesn’t tip over much like it used to.

Trevor learned a new trick that he can do instead of taking a nap

Our friend Jonah brought the boys a super cool present… giant rocks! They won’t stay in the middle of the lawn, we will be figuring out where to put them in the next few days. But how do you turn down free boulders?

Trevor says, “Thank you, Jonah”

Meanwhile in the kitchen, Brendan was doing some pudding fingerpainting

Maniacal laugh!!

Brendan had to come outside and check out the rocks too

Running barefoot in the grass!

Finally, some silly Brendan and rock fun

I was too tired to try to accomplish anything today, so I took Trevor to the park this morning to try to burn off his energy so he would nap.
He fed the ducks

He ate some of the cheerios himself

He went on the swing

We saw a blue garbage truck!

He hid rocks and pine cones in the secret compartment he found in this horse’s hooves

He climbed ladders

He is getting better!

We saw the mail truck several times

He went down the slide

It worked, he did take a good nap.
Brendan took a long walk down the street with his nurse so he was tired too. He didn’t get such a good nap though.
He was wanting nothing to do with a bite of cottage cheese. He wanted every fork that he could see and would pitch a fit until he got them.

He finally settled on two forks

And licking balsamic dressing…

Dinner was full of yelling, but it all ended with an episode of Curious George

I am hoping tonight brings good sleep to all.

It was a whirlwind day and it went by so fast!
We chased the garbage truck through the neighborhood this morning. Brendan and Trevor both took a long walk seeing the big green truck pop in and out of all the side streets and cul-de-sacs.
Brendan had speech therapy this afternoon and his therapist is impressed with the new sounds he is making. She said that every time she visits, he has accomplished something new and he is amazing. “Really chugging along,” she says.

It was mega nap fail day. Brendan got to bed too late and had to be woken up for his therapy appointment. Trevor was super tired, but just too wired. He was in his bed for a while but did not sleep a wink.
I let him roll around a while, he took the frogs off the wall again and played with them. After a bit, I checked his camera and he wasn’t in his bed! I had to pan around to see where he was.

“Who, me?”

Some relatives from Chicagoland are thawing in AZ this week. We were very happy to see them all! And check this out.. the sewing table can be used for meals!

The boys did a good job at dinner. They let me mostly sit and eat. Trevor got his “too many pockles?” for being a good boy.

Brendan yelled because he wanted one too. I gave him one, and then he yelled because Trevor had two and he wanted two as well.

It was hilarious watching him lick the popsicle, make a twitchy “sour and cold” face, then go back for another lick!

Sweet dessert is on the table!

Beth, Steve, and Glenna wore these boys out. With the nap fail and the very busy evening, they were both sound asleep in bed by 8:30!
