Second day in a row that only one dinner will be made! The children are eating at the same time as Josh and I are…..Im hoping this is the beginning of eating dinners together as a family!!!
Its amazing how quickly you feel like a failure and let down to your children. Having them both want you to color with them and only being able to physically hold one crayon and choose Ellas paper or Coopers paper having the other sit there and whine to color with them. –feeling at a loss.
That didn’t take long…..Ella figured out that if you tap something against her cast it makes noise…
Today while at the orthopedic specialist..We were told no swimming, no sand, no beach… Ella heard no beach and got really upset.
Didn’t cry when they touched her leg, cried when she heard no beach. We have a trip planned to Myrtle Beach this fall…She was afraid we won’t go.
Her frown disappeared when I told her that her cast would be long gone by then!
We saw the Orthopedic Specialist and Ella had a hard cast put on her leg. She had to keep the cast on for 4 weeks. While those four weeks seemed like they would be an eternity, we tried to keep busy and not think about swimming pools, walks or sandboxes. She was a real trooper through the whole process and in the end she got the cast off 5 days early!
