Brayden's Surgery and the new wagon...

Two weeks ago, Brayden had surgery to have his tonsils and adenoids removed. He did pretty well with the whole ordeal at the hospital and Jason was a hero, when he came and took the night shift to stay with Brayden and discovered the playroom. They had Brayden spend the night at the hospital due to his age. Since coming home from the hospital, things have been a little more challenging as Brayden loves to throw tantrums, cannot really talk, and was in pain. Thank heavens for narcotics that we now miss because to this date...it has been the only medicine that has knocked Brayden out for a solid nap. In fact...one day he even took a 4 hour nap! It was awesome! We went to the post surgery appointment today and everything is healing up nicely. I was sort of hoping the doctor would find something to associate with Brayden's recent orneriness but nope...its the age. Good thing we love our Scooby!

On another note, the weather, while it has been bizarre and fickle, decided to have some lovely days recently. High 60's and sunny...we all headed to play outdoors. We have been wanting to get the kids a wagon since we are all tired of being cooped up with the cold weather. The new wagons that they make are awesome and the kids loved it! While we were graced with another snow storm on Tuesday and currently the wagon is iced over in the backyard, we are looking forward to spring and being outdoors once again!

I am also proud to report that London is doing fabulous! Recently, the state of GA called me and asked if London could be part of a research study for preemie babies. So last week, we went downtown and had London evaluated by all sorts of people..speech therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, etc. and I am happy to report that London did not make it into the study because she is on track for her age...well her adjusted age...so minus 11 weeks of actual age. London is really trying to crawl these days and getting better and better and scooting. Her two bottom teeth are coming in and she has become a little chewing monster! We are proud of you Lolly! It is also fun to see, as London and Brayden get older, the two playing together. I love when Brayden makes London giggle and she loves Brayden. She thinks he is so interesting and funny. While Brayden can have his trying moments he is still a cutie pie as well. This morning he was running towards me to give me a hug and I said, "Brayden give mommy a kiss." He actually gave me a big kiss on the check. I tried to get him to do it again..nope...apparently it was a one time deal. For the rest of the day I tried and he would tell me no and run away. oh well...tomorrow is another day.
