I just put Stella to bed, and I'm not going to lie, I got a little choked up. Tomorrow morning (today by the time you read this), she is going in for her tear duct procedure. It's a very simple procedure, and it will only take about 20 minutes. (Sheesh, I say that everything is easy...even performing surgery. I've gotta stop with that!) She does have to have to have general anesthesia, and I'm not even nervous about that. It just breaks my heart that I know she is going to be so scared wondering what in the world is going on. It's the hard part about being a parent!
About an hour before bedtime, I decided I would let her do anything she wanted. She wanted to watch Elmo, so we watched Elmo as she ate her four Smarties and drank her watered down Crystal Light in her diaper and denim jacket. Ahhh, the simple things in life. Say an extra little prayer for Stella today, would ya?

Good luck Stella! It is the hardest thing in the world to turn your little one over to someone else for surgery.
