Tonsils

before the surgery, poor kid...he had no idea

Tate got his tonsils out last week and it definitely hasn't been the funnest time of our lives. He did great at the hospital and was cracking us up when they gave him the sedative before going in, he was so tipsy and out of it! And those first three days he seemed to be doing ok....then day four came. He has been so miserable! The doctor said days four through seven or so tend to be the worst, and they have been. I feel so bad because he just cries and grabs his throat, and he hasn't eaten in days. Today was a tiny bit better, I hope that means things are starting to look up.in the waiting room before they came to get him

I never thought I'd be so excited

One of the things that I've realized since becoming a mom is that it's funny (sad possibly?) how excited you get over things you never would have thought twice about before. Such as exhibit A:Having the 3 year old fully potty trained is comparable to winning the lottery. And I probably save as much money too not having to buy diapers. I haven't pushed him at all because he's had no interest, then one day he decided he was ready--it's been awesome! I take no credit though, it was nothing that I did. And exhibit B: Having her hair barely long enough to put in a little clip. So exciting for me!
