no seriously. a break. of the leg. not even kidding. he's doing fine, just pretty bored and he's sleeping a TON. he gets frustrated because he can't really crawl yet (though he crawled a couple feet today) and he can't stand because it hurts to put pressure on it. liam let grayson borrow his dump truck chair and he LOVES it. he just sits there, so sweet, eating fritos (i found out fritos have only corn, so that works!) and watching a new dora video that liam is also lettting us borrow! he is a great sport about it. he's on motrin, but not all the time. just when i think it hurts. how did he do it? well, scarily enough i have a picture of it actually happening, but i'm waiting for that to be emailed, then i'll post. we were at a play place, with blow up toys. and he was going down the slide with one of his favorite people in the world, and his sweet little foot got caught under hers. she of course, feels awful, but she shouldn't. because ITS NOT YOUR FAULT!! when they got to the bottom, he was crying, and super lethargic. i tried to get him to stand but he'd just collapse onto me and cry. i couldn't even get him to walk for a rice cake. so i KNEW something was wrong. i came home, put him down for a nap, and debated on what to do. when he woke up and i STILL couldn't get him to stand, i took him to the ER. we got there at 3:30 and didn't leave untill 10:30. oh. my. gosh. its so fun taking your broken legged one year old to the er for 7 hours. really, try it sometime. and he LOVED being pinned down for xrays. the ortho team was backed up because of a bad wreck, so it was 9:30 before they started putting his splint cast on. he actually fell asleep during the process. he's such a good boy. when we got home, we discovered that aislyn had been super sick all day, runny nose like crazy. so one of these is a pic of the two of them, snotty and gimpy with their snuggers, watchin dora. sweet babies. we have had one heck of a weekend. yesterday was kenny and i's five year anniversary, more on that later. here are a few pics for your enjoyment. or your empathy. OH, if anyone has had a toddler in a cast, PLEASE comment with your advice. i MIGHT go crazy over the next six weeks...

Hi! I'm an online reflux buddy of Molly Beth, and have been following your blog. I love your photos! Just wanted to say that my daughter had the *exact* same thing happen to her tibia...but it was ME who had her on my lap as we went down the slide! It can happen to anyone. They heal so fast at this age and adapt really well to the cast, so at least that's good. The worst part is keeping them occupied and off the leg!
amy we have more dora, backyardigan, diego, etc. DVD's than anyone in the world. I'm happy to become a lending library for you for the next 6 weeks. call me!! anna
Poor baby G! I am so sorry for you guys. Heath broke his foot for the first time at around 2, and they survived it, so I hope you get through it quick. You guys are in our prayers. Can't wait to hear about the allergy stuff. Hope it goes well.
