Monkey's Blog: Tubes (and a sentence)!

So, Monkey is going into surgery next Wednesday (June 30th) for ear tubes. I'm grateful that he will be getting them done and hopeful that he will not have as many ear infections as we have been dealing with over here. He has been in a great mood lately, so I don't think his ears are bothering him, but I can't imagine that a constant fluid build-up behind your ears is a good thing. After doing some thorough internet research, we decided to go ahead with it. It involves 2 weeks of no swiming, but after that, he's a free man (kid)(toddler)!

In other news, he put two words together this morning! Daddy was leaving to go golfing and Monkey said "Bye, da-da." I know, it's not like he said "see ya later" too, but in our world that was a big step!

We are also going to Sesame Street Live, Elmo and Friends on Sunday. I think I'm more excited about it than Monkey at this point. He has no clue what he's in for, and I can't wait to see how beserk he goes when he actually sees a live, walking and talking Elmo! The kid is going to flip!

Oh, and here are some pictures we took over Father's Day at the Children's museum.

See the noodle forrest behind them? Also notice Monkey's matted hair? Yeah, he spent a solid 30 minutes running through the forrest laughing hysterically. He was wiped out.

Getting ready to ride...

Also another Monkey fav. The colorful fabric goes into the clear thing-a-majigy behind Monkey and the air inside it propels them out and they fly through the sky. Entertained him on and off for another 30 min!

Then he enjoyed the "Climber." I think Daddy had more fun in there than the Monkey.

The rest are some random shots of late. I told you he loved his Elmo. Mommy got him this shirt a few weeks ago, and he loves wearing it and pointing to himself saying "E-bo." He wore it to Wet N Wild, and a little girl came up to him and wanted to touch Elmo. Monkey didn't want to share his E-bo. Made for an awkward moment.
