Noah's Surgery

Why are my parents doing this to me???
Noah was such a trooper for his surgery. He didn't cry or whine the entire time we were at the surgery center.

There were actually some fun perks to being at the surgery center, like getting his very own teddy bear, getting to watch cartoons, and getting a new pair of slippers!

Practicing for lights out.

He drove himself into the operating room. He really liked that!

I went in with Noah until he fell asleep. When I put on the yellow gown, sweet Noah exclaimed, "You look like a princess!" Noah was very cooperative and it only took a few minutes of blowing into the mask and watching the balloon get bigger for him to fall asleep. When he woke up, he wanted to know where the balloon was. We sat and cuddled while he drank apple juice and ate Cheerios. He was quite content as he watched "Diego".

He had a few moments of crying and discomfort yesterday, but overall he has been his happy, active self. As long as his diaper is dry and clean, he is happy.

Poor kid. What was his surgery for, exactly? (If it's not too personal.)
