Surgery, Sandbox, Sunglasses, and Seiko

Sometimes I can't think of a creative title so I come up with really random stuff like the title for this post.  I know it is a bit of a reach but at least I'm consistent with the use of words that start with "S".  Anywho, let's move on to the purpose of this post:

My sweet Benjamin is having surgery tomorrow to repair an inguinal hernia.  It shouldn't be a huge deal, outpatient, no hospital stay expected.  But since anesthesia is involved there is some element of risk.  As his mommy, I am a bit nervous but I'm confident that everything will go fine.  Benjamin can't eat breakfast tomorrow morning which could be a problem as this kid likes his breakfast.  And he usually eats a very big breakfast.  I don't imagine he is going to be thrilled when we tell him he can't have his daily bowl of oatmeal in the morning, followed-up by a bowl (or 2) of cereal.  He's going to be grumpy folks.

Here are a couple of pictures from today.  Benjamin insisted on wearing these giant "Life Rolls On" sunglasses and my very old (from high school) Seiko watch while he played in the sand box.

You can't hear him but he is making really cute car driving noises right here.

Love him.
