happy birthday poppop

Tomorrow is PopPop's birthday so we celebrated tonight at Mamie and PopPop's house. Uncle Bobby is in town and Mamie's best friend from college was also here. We had a great time celebrating PopPop's birthday and as usual, The Mayor and Love Bug loved playing with Bennett. It was such a great night that as soon as we got home, we took the kids upstairs to get them ready for bed and The Mayor asked to go to sleep. He didn't want to read or rock in his chair, he just wanted to go to bed. That was one worn out boy.

Yesterday was a long but good day. The Mayor's CT scan went well. The test itself was only 10 minutes, but we had to wait (what seemed like forever) before we finally met with the anesthesiologist. His name was Dr. Wiseman and he was very nice. He explained how The Mayor would be put under and how one of us would be allowed to be in the room while he was sedated. The Mayor chose me. I warned the doctor and nurse The Mayor would fight the mask, and they said it was expected and totally normal for his age. And he did. But with the fighting meant deep breaths of the air and he was asleep within 30 seconds. I got to kiss him goodbye and had to leave the room for the scan. We were back in recovery with him in 15 minutes, and while we were walking in the room, he was coming out of the anesthesia. He was a little groggy and cranky, but he actually snapped out of the anesthesia pretty well. No vomiting and a pretty good mood for the rest of the day. He ate a little breakfast (he wasn't allowed to eat or drink after midnight) and then we went home for a pretty relaxing day. We had a few errands to run and then went out to dinner and then came home and played in the basement. The Mayor came up to us at 6:33 and told us it was time for him to go to bed! He was tired from the early morning wakeup call and from the day he had.

This week means the end of summer...The Mayor starts preschool Thursday!
