Goodbye (and Good Riddance) Tonsils!

Sean's tonsils have about 12 hours left in their current home, then we say goodbye for good!  If you've been anywhere near Sean while he sleeps you'll know that he snores like an old man.  This summer on vacation Cody had to sleep on the couch because our 3 years old's snoring was keeping him up.  The real problem, however, is that he has been having apnea episodes as he snores, which make for a very bad night sleep and a tired little boy for the rest of the day.  At nearly 3 1/2 he still indulges in a 2-3 hour nap most afternoons. 

The Big Event will happen tomorrow morning at 9:30, and we would all appreciate prayers at that time for a safe and successful operation and recovery!  Thank you in advance!

To get ready for the big day tomorrow Seannie and I made a cake (he requested blue cake with blue writing) this afternoon to wish his tonsils good luck on their new voyage.  Sean got to pick what he had for dinner (he chose a hot dog) and have as much of the cake and ice cream as he wanted as he won't be able to eat in the morning.  Here are some sweet pics of our celebratory dinner:

Showning his tonsils.  If you ask him about his tonsils or say "wow, they look big," he'll correct you and say "oh no, no, no, they're nasty."  He told the ENT they're nasty when the doc first looked at them.

Blue cake, blue writing and a blue candle.  We all sang "goodbye tonsils for you..." to the tune of Happy Birthday--it was pretty silly.

Digging in!  Notice Jamesie's prefered way of getting cake.

Close up.

Mmmm. 

Jamesie with his old-man muffin-top-belly after all that cake!

So, goodbye tonsils!  We hope to never hear from you again!
