Update on Yoda's Eye

Before...

Yoda waiting in his "yellow pajamas", with his new toy truck from the nurse, ready for his "hospital nap".  It was a little early and he had quite a case of bed-head. 

  He had to be put under, totally asleep so the surgeon could get the device in his tear duct and then blow up a small balloon to stretch out the duct so it won't just close up again.  (Hopefully) this is the last photo of his gooey eye.  This was a particularly bad day.
Bunny was invited by the nurses to stay for moral support :)

 After.
There was a little blood and he was wobbly for a while.  He was super angry about being woken up after the procedure. 

 The "CC" over his eye is the surgeon's mark so that no one can mistake which eye needs to be worked on.

 He insisted on the way home to see a train.  I think he was a little delirious.  So we stopped by the only trains we know about.  They are parked and behind fences at a railway museum close by.  But it did the trick.  He also got cool sunglasses from the nurse in case it was sunny. 

Since he had to be put under he couldn't eat anything until a full hour after the procedure was over, and was able to keep down a little juice and a popsicle.  He did much better about not eating then I expected.  (usually he eats an apple, cereal bar, and maybe a banana before Parker and Mimi wake up. 

Here he is today, all better and no more gooey eye!

whole milk

Mimi had her 2-year well-child appointment yesterday (where has the time gone!), the good news is she is closer to normal on weight but basically still tall and skinny. Last time I talked to the doctor about how to fatten her up, although we aren't worried about her health, it couldn't hurt. This time I told him what I've done to help her weight go up and he praised me more then once about what a good mom I am, I guess I've got him fooled.

After the appointment we went to Chuck E. Cheese, as did most of the Metro West area.

Sick

Here's our NEW kitchen. It took the maintenance guys 4 days to do the whole thing. While taking this picture, Superman noticed the camera was NOT on him or Mimi and asked "Hey, why is the camera that way?"
Superman with his "Computer Dictionary" a.k.a. the home version of Deal or No Deal game. It reminds me of when my sisters and brother and I were little and we used the backgammon as a briefcase.

He is wearing his stickers from the 2 doctors offices that he visited this week. No pneumonia for him. He is currently in this funny stage of life that he likes both Elmo and Superman. I hope he doesn't grow out of it too soon.
Mimi being the little-mother, feeding me her "soup" she made in her little kitchen. This was a tough week, lots of sickness, even the doctor called it confusing. I might even say that I feel like I've been hit by a truck, but I should be sensitive to those who actually have :) We are doing MUCH better.
