Jason was diagnosed with a Thyroglossal Duct Cyst last week. This sounds like a bigger deal than it really is. It looks like a rather large lump in the front center of his neck and is most easily seen when he tips his head back. According to the doctors is just tissue that should have "gone away" after his thyroid moved into place as Jason grew in the womb, but in his case he decided to keep it there so it could fill up with fluid and scare his mother to death at 21 months old! :-)
The bad news is that the cyst will need to be surgically removed, so the little man will be in hospital overnight.
The good news is that according to several people this is "common", "surgery 101", and my personal favorite "not an interesting case". :-) Also on the good side, Jason isn't bothered by it at all and he is feeling great.
We have an ultrasound scheduled for next week to ensure that it is a cyst and that it isn't his thyroid (if it is his thyroid there is a different path to take). After that, we have his surgery currently scheduled for October 4th at Scottish-Rite.
We will keep you all posted!

What is he learning at school?!?!
Do I have a snake around my neck?
It was PetLand day at school today! Jason was also kissing puppies, but the snake around his next was probably the highlight. We have a daredevil on our hands... it's official.
Jason weighs in with: That was cool!

My First Day of School
Jason starts school at Goddard today! It is hard for mom to send him off to school, but this will definitely give Jason the chance to meet some new kids.

Sweeping the floor is COOL!
Jason learned to love sweeping the floor today! What a joy for this mother to have a little helper!
Georgia Aquarium - Visit #3
We have visitors, (Uncle Tom is in the house!!) so of course we are headed off to the Aquarium! You have to love the Season Pass. The weather was beautiful so Jason spent most of his time running near the Sea Lion enclosure! The aquarium continues to amaze us, I can't beleive how lucky we are to have it so close! For more information on the Georgia Aquarium visit: http://www.georgiaaquarium.org.

Conception
According to my mom, I was conceived somewhere around March 16, 2004... I don't want to get into details but 8 weeks later my mom saw my first baby photo. Apparently dad thought I looked a lot like gollum. What did he expect I wasn't even an inch long!
