not again. . .


As most of you remember, last year Millie broke her left arm (by the wrist) jumping on the trampoline.  And what about the forehead??  Honestly, don't remember. Anyway after 8 1/2 weeks in 2 different casts, we really thought that we could mark that one off!  Not a chance!  Last week, Millie fell off a bike and broke her upper right arm (right below the shoulder) and there is no way to cast this one. So we have do the "sling and wrap" about a thousand times a day, try to rationalize with a crying 3 year old about why we can't take it off about a thousand times a day--and all of this for about 4 weeks the doctor tells us.  I know you all want my life right now!  And please don't turn us in--we really try to be good parents!  Despite the inconvenience of it all, she does remain pretty happy.  And unfortunately, it doesn't slow her down a bit!  And look, we are already getting the eye rolling--I think we are in for it with this one! At least it is eye rolling with a smile, right!

Oh Kaley, Millie is such a cutie! (even though she has added "sling and wrap" to your daily to do list.) I hope she heals well and you can someday look back and laugh.
