The Dark Side of Three

So my normally sweet, good natured, happy-go-lucky three year old has traveled over to the dark side of three! It all has to do with LACK OF SLEEP! For months now it's like we're living with a newborn, and not the kind of newborn that Sam actually was (sleeping through the night at 6 weeks old), but the kind of newborn that's up and crying for mamma every 2-3 hours! So Sam is having his tonsils, adenoids, and tubes put in his ears on November 10th. He's always been a snorer and now is waking himself up because his tonsils are blocking his airway, causing him to have sleep apnea. He's also always been a mouth breather, and is now experiencing constant congestion, which is why the adenoids are coming out. He's getting tubes as well because he's got some temporary hearing loss due to all the fluid just sitting there. So between all these symptoms and not ever getting into deep sleep, he's one mean crankmeister. And guess who else isn't getting much sleep?! If mamma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy! Even though we're a bit scared about sending our baby into surgery, we're trusting God with the life of our child. God has put peace in us that this is the right decision for Sam's well-being. I tried to take a picture of Sam's tonsils, so you all could see how big they really are, but once I'd get in that close, his breath would fog up the lens, and the flash was up to high to light up his mouth, so it just didn't work out! So you'll have to settle for a silly one instead!
