8/1/2007 Daycare called David and said "We think Nick has a scratch on his foot. He's been crying like we've never heard him cry before." David left work right away, and when he got there they told him that when they were pushing the buggy through the door after a walk, they think Nick's foot got stuck and twisted between the buggy and the door on the way in. Turns out they broke his leg ! :-( For all my medically minded friends - it's a Toddler's Fracture, specifically. Daycare has re-examined and changed their procedures for buggy rides, but Nick now has to have a long leg cast on for the next 4 weeks.
This was as soon as we got home from the Orthopedic Surgeon's Office. He's doing ok with the cast most of the time. He gets frustrated with it a lot though. He says "All done, red boot, All DONE!" and "NO broken leg"
He is scooting around, and has even ventured a few unbalanced steps in it (just try to keep a 2 year old non-weight bearing). It will be a miracle if he gets through 4 weeks without breaking something else.
Alex started giving Nick a ride their bus to help him get around. Nick thought that was pretty funny.
8/3 Nick has gotten the chance to play with some of the inside toys that he hasn't seen in a while, since we've kept him home from day care for a few days and he can't play outside (which really makes him sad - although, we did go out and swing for a bit the other day).
7/21 Here were the boys at the County Fair - obviously prior to the broken leg - as you can see Nick loves to jump!
8/29/07 Nick is all smiles, but he is refusing to attempt walking yet. He was walking, running, and even jumping just this morning, but now that the cast is off, he is a little tentative. We'll see how long this lasts.
Alex is happy, too.
