what doesn't kill you...

so isaac had a bit of a tough weekend. friday i took him back to the ear doctor and pinned him down with all my weight (worst thing ever) so they could check his ears out and make sure his tubes were no longer blocked. good news is they were clear and his ear infection was mostly better. bad news is that when we went out front to play by the waterfall, he scraped his leg on a rock covered stair. honestly, who covers stairs in rocks?

saturday afternoon he tripped over a toy and bailed right onto his face, causing his lip to fatten up and bleed pretty good. then last night he decided he was going to leap out of a grocery cart and break his wrist. nope, i am not kidding. it is a buckle break, a buckle fracture in fact, meaning the bones did not shift and it did not go all the way through. when you consider the fact that he could have landed on his head, it really ain't so bad. kinda.


he is a brute, and doesn't really let the wrist slow him down. that is cool, but actually kind of scary. he does not understand that he has limitations in the first place (like you can't go jumping out of shopping carts). add to that the fact that his arm brace prevents him from full mobility, but that he still tries to do everything he used to do, and you have a recipe for parental stress. we don't want to limit him permanently, but at the same time we don't want him injuring himself further either. although we are certain this won't be the last time we take isaac in for xrays, we hope it won't be for another couple years at least.
