The last day with tonsils and adenoids celebration

Boy, are we desperate for an excuse to have some fun, or what?

The last time we went to Chuck-E-Cheese Bode was't born yet 
and Mia had no idea that a few hours later she would have this little guy to deal with boss around for the rest of her life.  
Bode "played" this game 18 times.  
His reaction to a little truck moving from side to side at .05 mph is slightly troublesome considering the next couple of trips we have planned (Great Wolf and Disney).
I couldn't help but capture this moment.  Crossed legs and an art pad - it's a little glimpse into her transition from toddlerhood to girlhood.
So tomorrow Bode is having his tonsils and adenoids out and a new set of tubes put in his ears.  He is accomplishing his goal of having us meet our deductible every single year of his life.  We couldn't be more proud.

I am already starting to hyperventilate at the thought of Bode not eating or drinking until 10 AM.  And I can't even let myself think about him being in pain after surgery.  Not going to go there.

Once again, prayers for the little Bodester and prayers for his nervous Momma are much appreciated!

iHope all goes well! We never had to deal with that but everyone in our family except Dee has had hernias and both boys had them fixed at an early age. TMI, probably...

Have you been warned about the HORRIBLE breath Bode will have for a couple of weeks? We kept thinking Mase had a dirty diaper, but it was his breath. Take extra clothes for you and Bode in case he pukes all over you in the recovery room. I had to leave the hospital wearing Austin's undershirt.
I'll be praying for you!!

A drugged Bode is a sight to behold. I'm so glad we got to see that sweet little puffy angel. Call you tomorrow!
