a little break...

 We went from this....
 and this.....
 ...and this....to....
 ...this!
My poor baby!
He will heal and I am thankful for that.
Uncomfortable but still able to be soothed by endless Bubble Guppy watching, cuddles, ice water and chippies. 
He picks out the gauze like stuffing and I find it all over the house.  Totally makes me laugh.
He was a trooper and the emergency Dr. was the best ever. (helps that she lives like ten houses away!)
He seems to forget about it sometimes but then remembers and gets frustrated he can't hold the drum and stick to play marching band.  Mommy holding the drum just doesn't work.  So we build forts and dress up like pirates and will let the bike get dusty while we give the wagon a workout.  So long water table, pool and splash park. Hello Zoo, long wagon rides, hot wheel ramps and trips to the library.  Ten days until our next X-ray.

Oh dear, I DO feel his pain...my cast was on for only three weeks but it was hot and itchy and awkward. At least he doesn't have to try to write, or comb his hair, or brush his teeth. He will heal so quickly, but see if you can find something Dr. approved to scratch the itches inside his cast. Remember all those wee students of ours who used to bring their casts for show and tell? Make sure you keep it for him! Heal soon, from Ellie
