Well today was surgery day! I almost can’t believe we made it this far. Partly because it was so easy and non-traumatic that it’s so very forgettable.
If I learned one thing today, it’s this: When given the opportunity to make a parent look foolish, offspring will ALWAYS rise to the occasion.
I swore Kieran would be cranky because he wasn’t allowed to eat or drink until after the surgery. But he was happy as a clam, exploring the hospital and charming the nurses with his little dimples.
I thought he’d wail when the nurses took him into the operating room. They told me he was calm and quiet. Cool as a cucumber Mom. Take yer lies and shove ‘em.
I thought he’d hate the ear plugs we now need to use for bath time. Nope! Just peachy, thanks!
I thought he’d freak out when I put ear drops in his ears at bedtime. No problem, Mom!
Dear World,
My Mom is a liar.
Regards,
Kieran
The one thing I was right about today? He still doesn’t like any food that’s not easter candy. He could sit with an unchewed bite of food in his mouth while wailing for hours instead of just swallowing it and getting on with life.
Dear Kieran,
Thanks for making me look like a jerk.
Love,
Mommy
PS - I ate all your Easter candy.

So glad to hear it went well! He looks too cute in that little smock. Did Mom cry more than Kieran?
