Monica.... How did they relate the enlarged tonsils and adnoids to his sleeping/agressiveness?
My son doesn't ever get tonsilitis or anything like that and noone ever mentioned to me during routine dr visit that they were enlarged or are they simply not looking? I don't have a whole lot of confidence in pediatricians...seems like they just want to herd the kids in and out and don't like to deal with any other issues other than a sore throat,cold, etc.

I often wonder if I'm searching for something to be wrong with his sleep to maybe somehow cover up a behavior problem, but I don't think that's what I'm doing. I'm on the "inside", not the outside looking in. Make sense? He's a wonderful, bright little boy and I just don't want him to have a horrible time in Kindergarten because it's during a time of day for him!

Anxiously awaiting our visit to the Pediatric Sleep Disorder clinic on Wednesday.

Thanks for sharing your info with me. Am I nuts?
