Little monkey fell off the bed!





































Well, leave it to Greyson to keep the holidays exciting! We were hanging out after Thanksgiving dinner at my parents and the kids were playing.....until we heard Greyson crying (quite loudly!). Frank went in to the spare bedroom to see what was going on and we found out that for some reason they decided it would be a good idea to jump from one twin bed to another (although Emma had the good sense not to!) - anywho, Greyson missed and fell to the floor - on his arm. Greyson is one of the toughest kids I know.....he has been through alot at his young age and not much slows him down. He is absolutely feerless (which scares me to death!)!! Even when he gets hurt - he cries for a minute or two and then is off again! When he didn't stop crying for twenty minutes I knew something must be wrong........so I ended up taking him to the ER where we found out he had broken his arm! My poor little guy had broken his arm - I felt terrible! He was such a trooper while everyone poked and prodded at him.....the only time he really got upset is when I had to leave his side for x-rays. They splinted his arm and told us to come back for a cast. He did pretty good the rest of the weekend - the splint seemed to help alot (that and ibuprofen)! We had the small problems - like figuring out what clothes he could wear that would fit over his splint and helping him eat with his left hand (wow - that is messy!!!!). Tuesday, he had the cast put on and now we wait for three weeks and hope it can come off before Christmas. As you can see the pictures, he's pretty proud of his splint / cast......and of course, Emma is thrilled that she gets to sign it! All I know is that if he is breaking bones at 2 years old - I have a LONG scary road ahead with this child!!!!!!

Poor little guy, although, he looks to adapting quite well. Amaya broker her arm before, and it just melts your heart to see them with the cast, but they do so well with them, and never complain.
