Broken Bones

I wasn't sure which one of our kids was going to break something first, but if I had to bet, I would have said Carson. Well, I would have been wrong! Wednesday I picked Camryn up from school. Her teacher said Camryn had hurt her ankle at recess, but had been walking on it all day and seemed to be doing fine. She walked home with us and didn't complain or anything. Once we got home, I had her sit so I could look at it. Her left ankle was really swollen and tender to the touch! Jerrod came home and looked at it and said it definitely needed x-rayed. Thursday morning I took her to the pediatrician right away. They sent us to Children's Hospital to have x-rays done. Ten minutes after we left the x-ray table, Jerrod called and said he was looking at them and that nothing looked broken. Long story short, he had some of his ortho friends check out the x-rays and they recommended casting anyway due to the swelling and tenderness, assuming because of those symptoms, she had fractured her growth plate. She is in a HOT pink cast for 3 weeks. It's going to be a long 3 weeks! Poor little girl!

Hiccups

Last night Carson had the hiccups. He said, "Listen Mommy, see, I have the pups!" HA!

Setting Daddy Straight

Last night we went out for dinner. As we were walking back into the house, we heard a train whistle blow. Carson turned around and said, "Daddy, you hear a choo-choo?" Jerrod said, "Yea, Buddy. Do you think it's Thomas?" Carson furrowed his brow and said, "No, Daddy. It NOT Thomas; it's a REAL choo-choo!" We both laughed outloud! (Probably more funny at that moment.)

I love that Camryn still gives me hugs and kisses before she goes in the building. There are all kinds of kids of all different ages out front, and now matter what, she always gives me a hug, a kiss and says "I love you Mommy!" I don't want that to ever stop! Our mornings are usually hectic as we scurry to get everything and everyone together. For some reason that helps to slow everything down and put things back into perspective for the day.

Harlem Globetrotter

The ball really IS spinning!

Last night we headed to Chick-fil-a to see a former Harlem Globetrotter perform. Carson and Camryn were in awe! Carson was smiling from ear to ear and giggling. It was so cute! They each got to spin the basketball on their finger and practice dribbling 2 basketballs at one time. Seth Falcon was the Globetrotter. His 2-year-old daughter wanted to give Camryn the basketball she's holding in the picture. So cute!
