More on the Tubes

Later that afternoon

If you aren't around us much you might not know that Carter has an addiction to his sippy cup. He wants a cup ALL the time. It can have milk of any flavor, juice of any flavor...he doesn't care as long as it is full and it isn't water. So then we decide to do tubes and all I can picture is my kid screaming his head off at the hospital waiting room because it's morning and he can't have a drink. All I can say is there must have been a lot of prayers for the situation because he was awesome. We took him from his bed at 6am and unfortunately he woke up. We put him in the car and he LAUGHED and talked on the way. We got to the hospital and he was absolutely perfect. His behavior was exceptional. He played with his aquadoodle and talked and laughed and watched the television they had set up in the room. He asked for juice around 7:15 or so but James just distracted him and he kept playing. He did such a great job. He flirted with the nurses and cooperated with everything everyone did.
Of course, his mood after the procedure was a whole different story...I'm sure you've all been there but considering everything he did fabulous! Yeah Carter!
