Evan had his three year old checkup on Friday, February 26th and is doing very well. He is now 36 inches tall and weighs 28 lbs and 10oz. So he has grown almost 2 ¾ of an inch and gained about 3 lbs since he turned two. The Doctor stated he was on track. However, he did get a shot which I was not prepared for. Apparently a booster had come out for a shot since he turned 2. He wasn’t too happy about the shot but it quickly became a distant memory. I then took him to Pump It Up so he could bounce to his hearts content and then off to Chick-fil-a to meet Daddy for lunch.
On a side note, Evan did return to daycare last week and it went better than expected after being out for two weeks. Of course, it only took three days before he caught a cold. The never ending cycle of a runny nose and cough begins again.

Surgery Recovery
Evan is recovering well from surgery to have his tonsils/adenoids and a 2nd set of tubes on 2/9/10. His surgery was scheduled for 8:30 that morning so we had to be at the hospital around 7am. Evan was a real trooper about not being able to eat or drink that morning. We had been preparing him by reading Franklin goes to the Hospital. I will have to say it was heart wrenching to hand him over to Dr. Phipps who carried him into the operating room. It wasn’t this hard when he had the 1st set of tubes but this time we knew he would be undergoing general anesthesia. He was able to take his blue blanket and Snowman (stuffed animal of choice at this time) into the operating room. We spent one night in the hospital and he did so well. He didn’t bother the IV which stayed in until we left. Of course he never got out of bed until we left the next day. The hospital gets Nick Jr., his favorite TV station which helped to keep him entertained. We have been able to keep him eating and drinking and he is doing much better. Dr. Phipps said his adenoids were extremely large and they had to get fluid out of his ears. The Doctor also said that once he heals we should see a big difference. Thank you so much for your prayers.

Fun in the Snow
Evan had a great time playing in the snow. We didn't get out on Saturday as it was so cold but Sunday he was able to play a lot. We spent the morning playing at home and in the afternoon it was off to Mommaw and Poppaw's where Evan helped build a snowman and went sledding.
Even the snow doesn't keep a boy and his tractor apart
Riding the 4-wheeler with Daddy
Evan decided the snow could use some mowing.

Evan had the easy part, Daddy pulled him up the hill on the slide and brought him back down.

Pending Surgery
Yes, Evan is having another surgery. We went back for follow-up with the ENT Doctor today. As I mentioned earlier, his tubes have come out of his ears. Well, the fluid is already building back up. Evan also has extremely large tonsils that the Doctor has been keeping an eye on. Evan doesn’t snore a lot but he is a heavy mouth breather. Also, due to the fact that Evan continues to have a lot of colds/cough/runny nose and two cases of strep, he will be having tubes put back in his ears and having his tonsils and adenoids out on February 9th. We will be spending one night in the hospital. So keep us in your prayers.

Evan turns 3!
It is hard to believe but Evan turned 3 on Friday, January 22nd. He is growing up so fast. He had cupcakes with his classmates on Friday to celebrate his birthday. Today we had a small family party. He had a great time playing with his cousins and was excited about his Thomas the Train Cake.

Where has the time gone?
I know, I know, there has been no update since October. Time seems to just get away from me these days. We have enjoyed the holidays and spending time with family. We had an early Thanksgiving the Sunday prior. Evan had a great time playing with his cousins.
Evan enjoyed the Christmas lights wherever we went and checking out the Christmas trees. I didn’t put as many ornaments on the tree this year but I also didn’t have to put them on the upper half of the tree. I put some of Evan’s non-breakable ornaments at the bottom. I still had to keep an eye on him or he would have had them off. We did go see Santa but he didn’t like sitting on Santa’s lap any better this year.
Evan also enjoyed the snow. He was running a slight fever but we did let him tromp through the snow for a little while. We went to the Doctor the Monday before Christmas and he had strep. So 10 days of the pink medicine and he recovered.
Hope you enjoyed our Video Christmas Card. It is amazing to us to see how much he grew and changed during 2009.
On Christmas Eve, Evan and I made cookies for Santa (okay, they were the store bought ones, Evan did add the sprinkles). We left cookies for Santa along with milk, orange juice and a bottle of water. When Evan woke up Christmas morning, he wanted to know if Santa was still here. I told him no but did he want to see if Santa had left him anything. I believe his favorite present was his leaf blower and goggles like Daddy’s. He also liked his jeep that came with a drill to take it apart and put back together. As with most kids, the clothes didn’t generate much interest.
Now we are in a New Year and starting it off sick again. Evan went to the Doctor on Wednesday (1/6). He had an ear infection. His tubes had been in a year just after Christmas. The tube in his right ear has come out and they took the tube out of his left ear. We will just have to hope this is a one time ear infection and don’t start occurring frequently or it may be tubes again.

Enjoying the Snow. He actually had snow boots for this snow. If you remember the last time we had snow, I had to put plastic bags over his tennis shoes.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! We did a little something different this year for a Christmas Card and wanted to share. Evan has changed so much over this year. It is hard to believe that he will three next month. Please sit back and enjoy our family in review.
