As a parent I guess there is always a first for just about everything... one happened this week for us! On Tuesday Isabelle fell off a chair in our kitchen onto our tile floor. She was a little fussy but nothing unusual. On Wednesday she kept holding her arm and crying when I would pick her up and when she was trying to climb onto the couch. We made a visit to the doctor and then to the hospital for an x-ray.
For 2 1/2 days she wore this...
And now she has this teeny pink cast!
She doesn't seem to be to bothered by it... yet?! There has been and will continue to be some adjustment since it is her right arm. It will be interesting to see if she learns that she now has a constant weapon - she hit Ty with it once in the car because Ty was being "rough" with her arm and she didn't like it!
I didn't know that there would also be an adjustment for Ty who after being "rough" admitted he wished he had a cast as well. I think his way to deal with it is by telling EVERYONE his sister fell, broke her arm and now has a pink cast on. After picking him up from school he was opening the door to get in the car and said "my sister must be home taking a nap with her pink cast on her broken arm."
