School of hard knocks..literally!


What is it about crutches that makes kids think they are so cool to play with. They are for injured people who after about a day on crutches want to pull their hair out. Ask Chandler..he decided to play with some adult crutches. ( which were suppose to be in the basement ) He thought he might go from the top floor of our house to the main floor which is 16 hardwood steps. He went head-first down them instead.. knocking his head in several places, busting his lip, cutting the top of his nose, bruising his legs, hurting his left ankle and breaking his little toe of that same foot and then fracturing his right foot...note the cast and CRUTCHES!!!! He is very lucky however, although his injuries aren't nice, it could have been a lot worse. We are just grateful he is okay. After about an hour with his cast on he is whining "it's hot and sweaty" and "mom, it's too tight." Oh, I know sweetie but you have to keep it on for a month. "I don't want to not play or swim for a month!" I know honey.
Let's just say, lesson learned!

Poor Chandler. I seriously ache for him. I can't believe he won't get to go swimming the rest of the summer, that will be hard for him. Give him our love!
