Growing Pains

Our little man's life has proven quite eventful over the past week and a half.  It all started when he "FINALLY!" lost his first tooth.  Three more are loose, and he heads to bed with visions of fairy wings and cash every night.

Just days later, however, Thane found himself in a hospital room waiting to be wheeled into the OR where a surgical team waited to remove his tonsils and adenoids - and to put tubes in his ears.  Before:

And after:

It's been a long week of recovery with loads of soft, cold foods.  Thane's new breakfast of champions?  Chocolate pudding, of course.

The surgery was very necessary, and he is already feeling much, much better.  It's been a week now, and Thane feels that he's ready for the "big man" chores.

Mow away!
