Last Monday, May 4th, Kason had a very interesting day! His new thing is laying on the floor or couch and says, "Goodnight!" Last Monday (at about 10:45am), he ran to the couch, laid down, and said "Goodnight," so I carried him to his bed and laid him in his crib and said "goodnight" just as a silly game. I left for not even a minute and next thing I heard was a bang then crying. The first thought that came to my mind was "Oh crap! He fell out of his crib!" I go in his room and, yup he's on the floor! He has NEVER tried climbing out of his crib before so I was shocked that he "succeeded." I picked him up and just held him and he kept crying. I didn't know if he had hurt himself (I know he hurt himself cause any fall like that would hurt anybody, but I mean I didn't know if he had broken anything) or was just crying because he was scared. I knew he bumped his head because he had a nice bump on his forehead with carpet burn on that bump. I gently massaged his arms and legs to see if he would cry harder in spots that could be broken. He was fine until I got to his right wrist. He would give me this horrible look of "MOM! Why did you do that?!?!" and then he would cry. I called his Dr's office and they wanted me to bring him in so they could check out his head and body.
Everything checked out fine but his Dr was concerned about his wrist so I took him to get it x-rayed. Sure enough, he broke it! He got what is common in children - a Buckle Fracture. They said it should heal really good and quick. They tried to just put him in a splint, but his arm is so small that even an extra small splint wouldn't fit! So he had to be put in a cast. He has to be in the cast for 4 weeks, but I'm telling you he is a CHAMP!!!! I thought he would cry and fuss when they did the x-ray and putting the cast on, but he just sat there and watched the lights on the x-ray machine, held his hand so still, and watched so good as they casted him up! I was amazed at how well he did!
Later that night I was talking to my parents and my Dad says, "I hate to say it, but this is only the beginning!" Ugh I think you're right, Dad!
He decided to dump out ALL of his toys at one time!!! I just laugh when he does this - he is so funny! Of course it's not so fun picking it all up, but he's a great helper and is definitely learning the joys of "clean-up time!"
