Here is a quick Zander update (with pictures for Grandma)...
This morning he woke to a VERY swollen lip
And then we were off to the Dr for him to get his cast put on. He had decided ahead of time that he wanted BROWN. I was not too keen on the idea, but it is not my cast, right? So, then he sees BLACK and gets excited until the nurse (thankfully) tells him it will be much too hot, and he finally chooses BLUE to match his little friend Anson that also has a broken wrist & blue cast. (A little side note, the two of them will be in the same preschool class starting next week, matching blue casts and all).
Here at home with his stash of treats from my friend Holly :)
And his attempt at a smile because I told him that he just looks plain miserable in all of these pictures, which he of course reminded me IT HURTS to smile (sorry, Buddy!)
He is doing great, playing just fine and has not complained a bit. The Dr said he was a perfect patient, he just sat there perfectly, and I reminded him that after stitches - this was NOTHING!
Poor baby! At least it is the end of the summer, right? And, there is a waterproof sleeve that you can put over it to allow you to go in the pool/water... just so you know!

Oh gosh, poor Zander. He does look fairly miserable.
But what a rockin' cast dude!
I bet their teacher is going to think that she'll have her hands full with those two.

Oh maaaaan! :( His poor little lip! And wrist too. But what a cool blue cast! ;)

Two in casts. Oy! Their poor teacher. That is an awesome cast, though.
And that lip! Oh my goodness.
Patience and strength to you, Angi.

Oh no! Bless his heart! At least he won't be alone at school. He and his cast-buddy will have lots to talk about. :D
PS You have digi-kits? How did I miss that?

Poor little guy! That lip looks painful and casts are no fun at all. Big hugs to Zander!
