Tubes

After four months, four double infections, and four rounds of antibiotics, it was determined that our little man needed tubes.  The doctor said he had a ton of fluid which was very gel-like.  Chances are, we'd have made it to round five in the next 3-4 weeks without this procedure.  The hardest part was the 20 minutes or so after he woke where I just had to hold him while he cried.  Poor guy.  Of course by the afternoon, you'd have never known anything was wrong.

The little patient playing with toys while waiting for the "silly juice" to kick in.  I could tell it was relaxing him and making him loopy before they wheeled him back.

The nurse instructed me to watch him a little closer today as he would be unsteady from the anesthesia.   So what did he decide to do this afternoon?  Climb onto the train table.  Yup, that's my boy.

 Side note: He's wearing 5 bibs.  He kept bringing me bibs and indicating he wanted me to put them on.  After I put the Aggie one on, he seemed satisfied and moved on to other activities.  Silly boy.

Applause, Please

Observations of a 4 year-old

Mikaela loves to discover the world around and and make statements about her findings.  Today she was observing Nicholas and what he was doing.

"He's one crazy kid"  was her conclusion.

Easter Weekend

Our Easter weekend festivities started off with Nicholas' 4th ear infection and a trip to the doctor.  That was Good Friday.  I was very thankful that I still had the day off and was able to take him and get him started on medicine before all the EGGS-citing plans occurred (I know, bad joke).

We colored/dyed eggs, but didn't get pictures of that this year.  Sorry!

Saturday afternoon we went to the Easter Party at church, which was a mini carnival with egg hunts, food, face painting, and bounce houses.  Mikaela had a blast!

 

 

Sunday morning was church like normal, then lunch with the Graemparents were we also did a little egg hunting in the backyard and playtime/picture time  in the front.

more interested in dirt than the egg right next to him

Let's just dump this all out and see what we got...

Happy Easter, everyone.  May you find the Hope that comes from this most joyous holiday!
