BIG MONGOUS

Today was the day! Shad's tonsils and adnoids are gone. He was so cute at the doctor this morning. They had a talking tractor (Scoop from Bob the Builder) and he took that back to play with. He and Jefferson had a great time digging "dirt" and "building a new school" while we waited. When the doctor came back I told Shad who he was Shad said "hi, my tonsils are BIG MONGOUS" the doctor got a kick out of that & so did all the nurses that heard him. Everything went fine. He was very whiny coming out of the anesthesia and kept saying he was freezing. While we were sitting there he heard scoop talk & he started to cry cause he didn't know where he was. The nurse went & got it for him & he was better. I think he stole the hearts of all the nurses. He kept saying "I'm not feeling very well" poor kid. As we were leaving the nurse that was caring for him when he woke up said, "he's a heart breaker" you could tell she felt bad for him. Everyone at the surgery center was great. Hopefully he'll be feeling much better in a couple of weeks. For now lets just hope that he keeps sleeping!

Poor Boy

Shad and I went to the doctor Tuesday and found out he needs his tonsils out. It wasn't really a big suprise considering that his tonsils are huge & it has caused him to have fluid behind his ears for over 3 months now. Not only does he need them out, but they are taking them out Thursday! I've tried talking to him about it, but I don't think he really gets it. I had my tonsils taken out when I was 3 and I remember going and getting new pjs with my mom so Jefferson & I are going to take him shopping for some new pjs and probably to let him pick out some popsicles and yogurt and other fun stuff that he can eat. Hopefully recovery will go well, but I'm preparing myself to be tired for a couple weeks.

Check out those eyes!

Where have we been? Honestly--nowhere. With the hustle and bustle of the holidays and just being busy as a mom our blog has been neglected. Really I guess I haven't updated because we are so boring, but if you care here are a few things that have happened. We had a great Christmas. Shad got the big red firetruck that he wanted and Mylee got a cabbagepatch. Mom got clothes and Jefferson was very suprised to get the flag case I gave him (thanks to Leigh). We had lots of fun hanging out with family and just being home. Jefferson had to work New Years Eve but we did manage to go & hang out with some friends before he left. New Years day we went up to Cascade and spent the weekend up there. Unfortunately we had no snow while we were there just rain that made the existing snow icey. However we still had a great time watching movies and playing phase 10. Shad is officially out of Nursery. He is a big Sunbeam & loves singing. Mylee is going to Nursery and loves it. Mom & Dad love it even more. Shad is very excited to be starting playschool next month. Alright so that is what we are doing. Not too exciting but an update nonetheless.
