Lydia had her cast on for 3 weeks, but she didn't let it slow her down at all. She got it off Friday and was a happy girl. She kept bending her elbow in amazement. "It' moves!" her face seemed to say. Before I go into what we have done over the last three weeks, it should be noted that the cast in these pictures is not the same one she started with. Lydia had her short arm cast on for not even 48 hours and she managed to pull it off. (She was quite proud she got it off, I might add) We immediately went back into the office and they put a long arm cast on- past her elbow so she couldn't pull it off. A little cumbersome, but she was a little champ. So- here is what we have done. We grilled in the backyard. A favorite family activity.
Colton attacked Lydia's spaghetti-o's as soon as she left them unattended.
There was a father/son campout, but mike didn't want to take Colton. Go figure- he was set back by the fact that he can't nurse him. Well, we brought the campout to the boys, but it was Lydia who had the most fun with it. We set up the tent in the living room, Colton had to sleep in his lonely crib while we all watched Marley and Me. Lydia ended up falling alseep on the ground, between our air mattress and the zipper door. Aparently the air mattress leaked, but I had no idea until my much larger sleeping partner abandoned us around 4:00 AM for a much softer mattress upstairs. Mike was a good sport.
