Pumpkin pickin' with a sling...

Looks like this year we will be pumpkin' pickin' with this sling on. Saturday night my child decided to pull a Buzz Lightyear and jump off his bed and landed either on his dresser or his toy box. Either way the end result was a 3 hour trip to the kids ER and a broken collar bone. Looks like we'll be in this sling for at least 4 weeks. He is taking it VERY WELL! Better than me of course (who cried herself to sleep Saturday night). Mr. Independent won't let a broken collar bone stop him. He is feeding himself with his left hand, wanting to skateboard and continues to run through our tiled house without a care. As you can see from the pictures he is doing good! I have a feeling this will not be the last broken bone this child has (fingers crossed though).



This was the sling the ER gave us...big enough for an adult and they gave it to a TWO YEAR OLD!
Thank goodness we have connections! Courtney (my cousin's wife) works at the children's hospital and got him one that fits!

He still has his left hand for other important jobs (like picking his boogers)!

Glad to hear he is taking it in stride. Also good to know I am not the only one with a child who likes to pick her noes!

Oh gosh! Life with boys! Oh, I can't even imagine the crazy things my boys will do growing up. Brock is such a good little sport about his sling. What a sweet boy!
