Injured

So our girls have been a bit accident prone lately. Curly got a black eye after colliding with a boy at preschool. She was fine and the bruise was gone in a few days. However, our sweet dramatic Curly milked this injury for all it was worth. She begged for sympathy from anyone who would listen. Have I ever mentioned that Curly is dramatic, extremely dramatic.

Little Rocky Balboa

I told her to toughen up

The Bear has always been our tough little girl. She can fall down and scrape both knees and not shed a tear while bleeding. She tends to cry and get upset more when she's being bossed around by her big sister than when she is physically injured. Last weekend, Daddy was in school and I had a girl's weekend up at Big Canoe in the north Georgia mountains, so the girls spent the weekend in Augusta with Gran and Papa. At some point The Bear fell in their playroom and hurt her leg. She insisted on being carried the whole weekend. When she did try to walk she did so with a very heavy limp. When we got her back on Sunday afternoon she still wasn't walking. So Monday morning we took her to the pediatrician who then sent us over to the pediatric orthopedic doctor. After taking some x-rays, the doctor determined she had a fracture in her tibia right below her knee. She was put in a full leg bright pink cast. The Bear was so brave through the entire process. She didn't cry when they drew blood to test her white blood count at the pediatrician. She didn't cry when they took x-rays. She didn't cry when they put on the cast. She was a brave little girl through the entire process. I cannot even imagine how many tears Curly would have shed in the same situation. The Bear has to wear the cast for three weeks. We are very thankful it's not longer. She's been doing great scooting around on her bottom. Hopefully these three weeks will go by really fast.

Pink Leg

Curly is a bit jealous of the pink leg
