Broken Arm

Well, Max had his first broken arm! Pretty Crazy! He fell off the monkey bars at the park. We went there with Grandma, Amy, Todd and Briggs, Averi and Maggie. Max fell and cried for a little bit and went on playing. I had no idea he broke it! The sad thing was is that happened on Monday and we didn't even take him in until Wednesday!! During those days he managed to fall off the swing set, fall off the couch and the kicker was when I grabbed his arm hard to take him to time-out....he cried really hard that time! What a crappy mother!
On Wednesday I was so busy with hair appts that I almost didn't even take him in that day...I thought it was probably just cracked or bruised or something. Brad got off work early to take him in. Max calls me on their way home and tells me he got an orange cast....his favorite color! He was so excited....and I felt like a piece of crap. First of all, I hurt his arm on his way to time out (this is how I knew something was wrong)and then I didn't even get to see his first cast because I was too busy!!! Mother of the year!
Anyway...he didn't even seem to care, he was just excited to have a new cast and he pulled out the sharpie and had everyone sign it. It was clean for about two seconds! He has to have it on for 4 weeks. Luckily it was a wet cast, no worries with swimming or bathing! It's been pretty funny...he wants everyone to sign it. He took a marker to his primary class, he brings one in to my clients to have them sign. He went to the U pep rally thing and Swoop even signed his cast! He thought that was pretty cool!

He's a celebrity. I've never had a cast but I totally wanted one when I was a kid. A cast brings instant popularity!

You're still a great mom...you're not the first to not know about a broken arm.

I did the same thing with Audrey! She broke her arm by falling down the stairs at my sisters, and I didn't take her in for two days. The sad thing was, she had a huge black eye from another fall! You should have seen the looks I got. Don't feel bad, it's so common.
