Belly Button Surgery

Well...tomorrow I am having an umbilical hernia repaired.

The surgeon shared that he would "carve" a permenant "smiley" :) face under my navel...aka belly button.

I don't mind the surgery...it is the not being about to lift anything for over a month that bothers me! I should be happy about not "getting" to mow the yard, yet it is the fact that I will now have to pay to have a yard service do it. Such is life!

We have tried to explain to our four year old son that daddy will not be able to "pick" him up and carry him, but that I could hold him if I was sitting down.

His main concern to this.... Daddy, what happens if my legs break? I am not sure how that little brain of his works, but it absolutely facinates me! I told him that if his legs should happen to "break" we would get them fixed.

Where does he come up with these things? He is very inquisitive asking so many questions. Daddy what is ___________? Daddy, why ____________? I love seeing him learn and how his brain works.

Well, time to sign off...got to get to bed so I can get my belly button fixed!
