Whew -- not only is this day done, but so is this past week! And despite all the posting of various things that have happened this week already, there is still more to catch up on. Never a dull moment around here!
Thursday morning I took Sophie in to get her real cast put on. The swelling had gone down enough to replace the splint with the real deal. An added bonus for me taking her this time was getting to see her X-Ray up close and personal. {Or at least a copy of it.} I've labeled it below for your viewing pleasure as well. Basically the impact of her fall caused her bone to buckle under the pressure. That's what that slight bulge is on the side of her wrist.
After waiting for what seemed like forever {although I'm sure it would have seemed even longer if Alex and Jane would have been there for me to keep occupied and entertained as well}, Sophie was finally able to get that pink cast on like she wanted!
Waiting for the cast to dry and harden.
As soon as it was ready to go, the nurse was so kind to hunt down a sharpie for Sophie to have for the signing. I was the lucky one who got to sign her cast first! She really liked my added touch of a smiley face in the "O" and a heart at the end as well. Hahahaha.
I checked her in to school as soon as the appointment was over and by the time she got home at the end of the day her cast was pretty much completely filled up. It's been hilarious to see her with that Sharpie clipped to the front of her shirt everywhere she goes {even up to bed} and to watch her ask everyone she meets if they want to sign her cast, too. You might say this one likes being the center of attention. And while we're speaking of attention, there's one last thing I need to document for record's sake. Sophie came home from school on Thursday with a card and a present from the little boy who pulled her off the monkey bars on Tuesday. I thought it was a really sweet gesture and Sophie was so excited about the present that I think she's almost convinced herself that he's reformed his spirited ways and they can now be friends. I'm still trying to convince her that usually when boys pick on girls in elementary school it's because they like them, but I don't think she's buying it. Yet. Hahahaha. Even if she never does, at least she's not harboring any ill feelings for this poor little boy. And that's a good thing -- accidents happen to the best of us.
Fast asleep at bedtime with her sharpie still in place and her newest junk by her side...

So sweet....the last picture. As a kid i kind of always wanted to break a bone....still never have!! Glad she is enjoying the attention so far:)
Eleanor is totally jealous of her cast :) That picture you have of her looking at the camera with her cast is adorable. Wish we could be there to sign it!
oh grace is plenty jealous of her cast, too. hahaha. i'll sign it vicariously for all of you when she gets home from school -- she will love that! :)
that was really sweet of the boy who pushed her off the bars to give card/gift. sweet lil soph. hope she's not in pain anymore.
Danny had the same kind of thing when he was only about 18 months old. he was shoved and fell - got a buckle fracture on his forearm. broken in 2 places. i have to say though - him running around in his little cast seriously was kind of the cutest thing ever. looks the same way with Sophie. :)
