By now I think that everyone knows that Ben broke his arm. Maneuvering Kaiser was a fiasco but I think we are through the initiation. It is a stable fracture, called a buckle fracture and should heal just fine. He was casted on Friday and that went as well as it could have. The casting tech was experienced and very fast. Now we just have to keep it as clean and dry as possible until April 24th. Right. They told us that if it got wet or dirty that we could come into the "casting room" anytime and they would just recast it. Right. If that happens, we will just live with it. He is petrified of any and all of it. Every once in a while he looks at his arm, like "where did this come from?" He doesn't have the best balance to begin with, but he is way off now. Today at the park he fell in some slippery mud and ended up with a muddy face.
Maya is busy trying to find ways to break his other arm by jumping over him while he is laying down for a diaper change or jumping on the bed with him because "he likes it!" and making Easter cards. Here is the note that she is writing in Ben's:
Dear Ben,
I think that your face is so cute and I almost love you one hundred times more than my
mama loves me.
When you grow up you will always be my sweetie.
I hope that the Easter bunny brings you things you want and you will always be my
sweetie forever.
Love,
Maya
There was more, I just couldn't write fast enough. Maybe she will write for Hallmark when she is older.
Pictures of the cast will follow!
