The Amazing John

Here is John before his tonsillectomy yesterday morning. I was pretty worried about it...I'd heard some stories about how he was going to be in so much pain. Today I'm wondering if they actually removed the tonsils. If it weren't for his lack of snoring last night, I might really think I dreamed taking him to the hospital yesterday. He acts like nothing happened. In fact, if you ask him where it hurts, he still points to his big toe (where they had taped on the heart monitor, which he did not at all appreciate). We had a few tough moments coming out of the anesthesia, but after a good long nap in recovery (and the removal of the afore mentioned toe/heart monitor)all was well.

He's currently enjoying the new car wash toy he was gifted by his brothers and sister as a get well present. Car washes seem to have replaced garbage trucks in his affections of late. And, our own car has never been cleaner, as we have taken it to the drive-through car wash three times in the last two weeks. Because, really, if this kid looked at you and asked you in his cute little voice with his cute little smile to take him to the car wash, could you say no either?
