Jonathan Harper just got punished for ripping the lid off the sensor (automated) trash can. I always tell people that he is freakishly strong! Seriously, he squeezes your arm or hand and it's like a little set of pliers. Last week when we met the mom and little girl that we want to start setting up play dates he snapped her little tiara. I stopped by their house with the replacement we bought yesterday.
Today he and Da Da played and did school most of the day. I started very early this morning, so by about 4:00 PM I was beat. After all, I'm pushing 49!! :-) To get Jonathan out for a while I took him to the grocery store in town and then to the dollar store. The video above is him playing with the new monster trucks he picked. He is all boy and so rough and tumble.
We're a bit nervous about the eye surgery on Friday but also excited to get it over with. I don't know how I'll react to seeing him being put under or laying on a hospital bed. He's our baby and to think about him in pain brings tears to my eyes. I started writing tonight how strong he is; I'm more worried about us.
Last night after I wrote the post Jonathan "sat nice" for more than an hour and was a little upset when he had to go to bed. Once we tickled him and pretended to drop him on the way to his room he was all laughter and smiles. We got our goodnight hugs and kisses and it was all good.
I agree...I'm nervous about his surgery as well. I try and real in my emotions, but as we play or he does somethiung so darn cute, I look at him and think. As strong as dependent as he is...he's a vulnerable little boy and both Daddy and I will always be concerned for his well being.
ReplyDeleteJH has not only touched and impacted our lives, but many more both freinds and family!
BTW, YES he is freakishly strong...He got two new trucks today with a ramp. With'n maybe an hour the ramp was in peices.
Duncan had ear tubes twice, and his adenoids were removed the second time. Letting them take him won't be so bad... Duncan wore his Batman cape and they wheeled him away in a wagon. They are kind of grumpy coming out of anethesia -- that will be the worst part, and waiting for it to be over.
ReplyDeleteConnor had an appendectomy at age 7, that wasn't easy either, but again, waking up is worse.
Once he really wakes up, he'll be a-ok and ready to go home. Take a valium or some tylenol and a good book... he's going to do far better than you are.
LOL thanks Carolyn, we'll be sure to have mood altering medication with us :-)
