The above picture is Nathan on the way home from church last Sunday. He has a very good time in the nursery there. It's fun to snuggle with him when he is sleepy.
This afternoon we went to see the surgeon who will repair Nathan's cleft palate. It looks like everything is good to go. His surgery is scheduled for May 1st pending the availability of the surgeon who will be putting the tubes in Nathan's ears during the same surgery. It looks like the procedures will take several hours. He will have an overnight stay at the hospital before we can take him home. It sounds as if the first two weeks will be the roughest but after that he should be pretty much back to his usual self. We might have some smaller surgeries in the future but this is the major one that needs to be done.
Nathan flirted with all of the nurses and medical assistants and begged for the doctor to pick him up. I can see now why Nathan's file from China read that all of the doctors and nurses loved him when he had his lip repaired. He loves being the center of attention and turns on the charm.

It never fails to surprise me that children can sleep in some of these positions! I seem to have lost all of my flexibility when it comes to sleep arrangements. Must be old age :)
Here's hoping everything goes well on MAY 1st! May Day. What a great sign! It's a fresh start just as the day intended.
