Fun at the park!

today the kids needed to run off some energy so i took them to the Jericho Elementary School playground this afternoon. They had not been to this park before and they really liked it! We ran around, learned how to pump on the swings and climbed on their spiderweb circle/rock wall structure. They still had too much energy today, even after all the fun......it has been a very very looooong day!

Subject: Aiden's arm

The school year started of great. Aiden was very excited about his first day of 2nd grade. Things were going great until the 3rd day of school. Calleigh had her preK orientation that day and both Wes and I went to the school with her. We were on our way out when we saw Aiden headed to the playground and we gave him a hug before we went to switch car seats and stuff from Wesley's car to mine. We weren't even in the parking lot 2 minutes when both of our cell phones went off and it was the school. Wes answered his first and the school nurse said Aiden was injured and we needed to pick him up. I went back into the school and what i saw made my heart drop. Aiden's arm was going in two directions, quite obviously badly broken. We made or way to the car and went to the er. They did x rays and saw both his radius and his ulna were broken One was just fractured, the other was completely snapped. They were going to have to reduce it. So they knocked him out with ketamine (which we are all to familiar with from Calleigh's stitches). He was then put into a soft cast/splint and given some pain meds. The poor guy was miserable. As a mom it is the kind of pain yyou never want to see your child go through. I wished I could tale it all away. He was in the soft splint for about ten days to allow the swelling to go down and is in a temporary hard cast until this monday.

Aiden's first day of 2nd grade!

I know I am behind but Aiden had his firsta day in 2nd grade on Sept. 1st! It is so hard to believe he is there and so tall (and SO mouthy). He had a great start to the school year until the third day of school when he broke his arm in 2 places! That story will come on monday once he goes back to Ortho and I can write the full story. Just to forwarn some i will be posting two pics of the arm and ot is nasty if you are squimish at all be prepared! Here's hoping for a great school year filled with Happy Memories!
