Why, yes, that is an Elmo knit hat, courtesy of Nana.</div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PKzPBJDD5OY/TsMxy3wFZxI/AAAAAAAADYc/LtNWQWrjsb8/s1600/IMG_6123.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PKzPBJDD5OY/TsMxy3wFZxI/AAAAAAAADYc/LtNWQWrjsb8/s320/IMG_6123.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675434705445807890" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">And play ball, but keep a nice, comfy seat close by.</div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--0cHpln4vhc/TsMxyWzwIuI/AAAAAAAADYQ/FDQU1FAae7o/s1600/IMG_6138.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--0cHpln4vhc/TsMxyWzwIuI/AAAAAAAADYQ/FDQU1FAae7o/s320/IMG_6138.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675434696602821346" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Enjoy the sunsets.

After a bath, the back of his hair curled up so pretty and I didn't want to lose those, but during the day it generally looked messy. I finally decided to go for it and made an appointment with the lady who cuts my hair. We've had some bad experiences having Will's haircut in the past at other places so I decided Joanna would have to do it. </div><div><br /></div><div>When I picked him up from Ms. Honey's, his hair was looking especially bad. I think he got a little baby oil on the ends and it looked pititful!</div><div><br /></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fwtVNwm6yRs/Tcc2tD1pfCI/AAAAAAAADQ4/Onu_B1JwjOo/s1600/IMG_5190.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fwtVNwm6yRs/Tcc2tD1pfCI/AAAAAAAADQ4/Onu_B1JwjOo/s320/IMG_5190.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604508409038208034" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NDqZUKyOPUY/Tcc1cJHc9jI/AAAAAAAADQs/OzlXlx0UIKE/s1600/IMG_5195.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NDqZUKyOPUY/Tcc1cJHc9jI/AAAAAAAADQs/OzlXlx0UIKE/s320/IMG_5195.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604507018885658162" /></a>I was disappointed because I thought if we did cut the curls, they would look ratty and I wouldn't want to save them, so as I drove to the salon I decided not to cut it. When we got there I spoke with Joanna and we decided to cut Will's first while I thought about it some more. <div><br /></div><div>Surveying his ratty ends, she thought we could try some dry shampoo to make it look better. I decided to go for it since getting an appointment that coordinates with my work schedule takes time. Reed didn't know what to think but he was pretty good.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z0MGTXzlM1I/Tcc1b6LspLI/AAAAAAAADQk/9z3Oickuuts/s1600/IMG_5199.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z0MGTXzlM1I/Tcc1b6LspLI/AAAAAAAADQk/9z3Oickuuts/s320/IMG_5199.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604507014876931250" /></a>Joanna and Reed.

The square is picturesque and every year they decorate it with thousands of lights at Christmastime. The gazebo has a beautiful tree that has no inch untouched by a light. It is a popular place to pose and you have to wait your turn!</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-A6ROt_gc6Lk/TV1N3OPLyBI/AAAAAAAADIA/rHIHwm6N2cE/s400/IMG_4730.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574697524864469010" />There is a huge tree that plays music every few minutes.

Our pediatrician made us wait until 9 months to be referred to an opthamologist and we saw Dr. Mallette when he was 10 months. Dr. M made us try a few things and wait 6 weeks to schedule surgery. We had surgery scheduled a couple of days before Reed's birthday but they cancelled it because he was sick. So we were excited to get the go ahead in December! His little eye was almost always red or gunky if he wasn't on antibiotic ointment or drops and I was ready for it to be clear! </div><div><br /></div><div>I thought the surgery would take minutes and he wouldn't even have to be intubated. I was a little nervous when I found out they would put him totally under, start an IV and intubate him. But he wasn't nervous at all!</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4xsLtdxtRsA/TVhU8impzWI/AAAAAAAADF4/XVfurUlsZg4/s400/55339_10150102138367578_659602577_7572008_2540356_o.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573297937928801634" />Loving on his tiger before he went back.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kvdR3QHWF-Y/TVhU81cz0aI/AAAAAAAADGA/Cq0sULdjDic/s1600/77651_10150102149642578_659602577_7572084_5433025_o.jpg"></a><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kvdR3QHWF-Y/TVhU81cz0aI/AAAAAAAADGA/Cq0sULdjDic/s1600/77651_10150102149642578_659602577_7572084_5433025_o.jpg"><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 225px; " src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kvdR3QHWF-Y/TVhU81cz0aI/AAAAAAAADGA/Cq0sULdjDic/s400/77651_10150102149642578_659602577_7572084_5433025_o.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573297942987788706" /></a>They came and got him without premedicating him and I was prepared for him to scream. He didn't cry a bit! Brad and I sat in the waiting room and entertained ourselves by reading a site about autocorrect mishaps with text messages. We had to put our phones up because we were laughing so much and other families were staring! I think I did pretty well not being a crazy momma considering he was away from me for over an hour. So much for a few minutes! He had a distal blockage, meaning the duct was closed off down in his nose, not up by his eye. Basically the massages we were doing didn't help and wouldn't have. Dr. M. put a stent in that looks like a piece of fishing line curled up in his eye and we have to keep it in for 10 weeks or so. He said if he hadn't put that in, it would have closed right back up, meaning more surgery.</div><div><br /></div><div>When they came to get us once he was out of recovery, I was expecting a screaming child. I work in outpatient surgery and most of the kids we get back are wild! But Reed was just looking around. Poor thing had his eyes dilated so we turned off the lights and snuggled. Once he woke up a bit more I gave him his sippy cup and some crackers. The ONLY time he cried was when I got him dressed to go home and had to take the cracker away for a second. He didn't even cry when the nurse took his IV out! He was an ANGEL!</div><div><br /></div><div>We went home and had a mommy and Reed day.
