Aftermath of the broken arm

That next Saturday the boys have a game. i decide to let Joseph play because i didn't think that there was anything he couldn't do out on the field to exacerbate the broken that he hasn't already done while running around the house. all in all, Joseph was down for maybe a day before he continued his usual running and playing.

yesterday i found him crying in the apple tree because he couldn't climb down.

Today we had his cast put on, and James really badly wanted to come. At one point Joseph asked the X-Ray tech if James could come with him to see them take a picture of the bone. We told him that it couldn't happen, and Joseph kept argueing, 'But he really wants to come. He really wants to see.' As the doctor starts to put the cast on, James is sidled right next to Joseph and the doctor. Twice today James has stated that today was the best day ever, cause he got to see Joseph get his cast.

The doctor explained the 4 rules to having a cast to Joseph: Rule number 1, No taking the cast off. Rule 2, No putting anything in the cast. Rule 3, No getting the cast wet. and lastly, No hitting with the cast. So we tried to remind Joseph of these rules, so he remembers, and after i picked them up from daycare, i asked him if i could wear his cast. 'What did the doctor say? No taking the cast off.' But i didnt want to to take it off, i wanted to put my hand in there with yours. 'What did the doctor say?! No putting anything in there!'

In other happenings. Ben was playing with a string from one of the blinds. he put the knob in his mouth and tripped or fell. The knob pulled on his front right eye tooth. It didn't come out, but it was incredibly loose, and bloody. There looked to be a ring of bruised tissue around plus a nice arc around the root of the tooth. he wouldnt eat anything really that day, and the next couple days hes needed his food broken up into pieces. It is starting to get a little firmer, but it is definitely pulled out a bit. lucky there that is just his baby teeth.
