Today was a total surprise to me. I was alone with the boys all day and they were awesome!
\nI don’t know if the Body Snatchers’ pods hatched and substituted them with sweet little duplicates, but it was a really good day.
\nFirst, there was not a single throw-up. Not one! I guess it is so commonplace every day that I forget to mention the struggle with the gagging, coughing up goo, and formula soaked pants.
\nSecond, Brendan wore his PMV all day!! I mean ALL day. Trevor got irritated a few times when Brendan got too loud but Trevor tolerated it so well!
\nThird, there was no hitting and tackling!! I keep working with Trevor to sign “No” to Brendan when Brendan is doing something Trevor doesn’t like. He also takes him toys to trade when he wants what Brendan has. Trevor even gave things to Brendan without direction, it was adorable!<\/p>\n

I sure wish we could build on this foundation and keep moving forward. I know the chaos will be back!
\nTrevor has turned some of his attack energy on the dog and wants to pull and bend poor Eins’s tail. I know Eins can escape at any time, he seems to like the game and ends up pulling Trevor over often.<\/p>\n

Trevor recognizes some letters, especially “o” and points them out everywhere, “M” and “S” too!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dumping the toy box usually helps prevent rapid tackle-attacks. Brendan played in the toybox for a while.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“I know one of these turns the TV on”
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I gave Trevor another stack of “cans” to dump. His sound effects are adorable too.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Time to change things up
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When Brendan tries to invade Trevor’s personal space…
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

…he has to learn how to improvise
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That will help
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What’s wrong with this picture?
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you said “That’s not where an HME is supposed to go”, you are right! You all got it, I am sure.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was so adorable today watching Brendan laugh himself in to fits of silliness while playing “Endless Alphabet”. Hearing his laugh is amazing. I can only hope tomorrow goes just as well or better!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
