Wyatt got his tonsils out on April 16th by one of the most wonderful ENT doctors around, Dr. West! Monte and I are really happy with him and his office staff! But more importantly Wyatt absolutely LOVES him and all the other people that work in his office! Anyway, before he went in for the short surgery I had to take him to the lab to get some blood drawn for a complete blood count. I WAS NOT looking forward to taking him because I was expecting a huge freakout and absolutely no cooperation on his part. So, I made sure I told him exactly what was going to happen so that there wouldn't be any surprises. When we got to the lab he sat in my lap and hadn't acted scared or uncooperative at this point. When the lab tech put on the turnicate I thought 'oh no, here we go, get ready for a freakout!' To my surprise....he didn't move a muscle! He watched the whole thing! He didn't whine, cry, or even flinch when the tech took his blood sample! I was absolutely floored at how amazingly well he did! The lab techs were pretty impressed at how he did too! I made sure to give him loads of praise and took him to Target to pick out something special. Of sourse he chose a set of speed racer cars! I am so proud of my big guy!!!
Here he is showing off his bandaid from where he got poked and his new race cars!!! He was pretty proud of them!!!

I have to say that Wyatt has been an absolute angel lately. When I told my mom that he was scheduled to get his tonsils out, she told me that it was going to flip his sweet and happy world upside down! And boy oh boy was she so right!!! Not only did the whole thing turn him into the most grouchy, unhappy, whiney, and unpleasant little three year old for miles around....but I felt like my life had taken a wrong turn as well! He was a very unhappy little boy for almost a whole three weeks after he got his tonsils out! I have to say that was the worst and longest three weeks of his and my life ever! I am so so so happy that is all over!!!
