Today, Blakley got her tubes in her ears. The day started out early for us. She woke up with all smiles at 6:00 (normally its about 8:00). We got ready and headed up to the hospital. She was scheduled for surgery at 9:15 am. I was so worried that she would be cranky because she couldn't have anything to eat after midnight last night, but she was great!
I know it looks like she is about to cry in this picture, but really she is just about to do her "ewww" face. It's a face that she pulls when she discovers something cool!

I love this picture!!
She was laughing trying to pull on her ankle band.
FUNNY GIRL

After the surgery was over the doctor came and got us and took us back to the recovery room. We were only there a few minutes before she woke up smiling and waving her arms in the air. She was so HAPPY! The nurse said that this is so uncommon. Most kids wake up super grouchy. Not Blakley Girl! I have no doubt that she did remarkably well because of the sweet priesthood blessing that her daddy gave her last night. Thanks Babe!

She loved her sippy with apple juice:)

Some of the tiles on the ceiling had paintings on them.
She loved looking and pointing at them.

She slept all the way home. When we got home she had a few bites to eat then whined to go back to bed.
Sweet Dreams Sweet Girl!

I so hope this will put an end to her constant ear infections.
Poor Girl!

Isn't it wonderful having a worthy priesthood holder there?

Your poor little girl. That had to be pretty tough for you guys to watch her be carried away.

Jesse had tube put in when he was young because of the same thing. He still constantly gets ear infections.

She's such a trooper!

I'm so glad everything went well today. I was thinking about ya! Cute little Blakley - she has the sweetest temperament. Seriously, what baby wakes up happy after ANY surgery? What a trooper! I'm glad she'll finally be able to hear! Love you guys!

Glad everything went well...I know it's a routine surgery but that's still always scary to have your child put under! She is so cute!
