No more Monkeys.....

The end of January we had Davis' parents watch the kids so we could do dinner with Davis' grandparents. While we were gone the kids were jumping on the trampoline and I guess Bennett fell wrong and was crying. Initially we thought he'd popped his elbow out of socket (he's done this a few times....none of our other kids have, but Bennett is our first for lots of things.) We tried to get it back in a few times, but he just screamed. Finally Davis took him in for xrays. No break showed so they put a sling on it and told us to check it in a few days. If it still hurt, to go see the orthopedic surgeon.




We went in on February 6 and they did new xrays and still couldn't see a break. But the ortho said since he is so young and the growth plates are still developing, they usually don't have enough calcium in them to show breaks. But, he was pretty sure it was broken. So we got a cast. He was so proud to get a green one.


So happy!!!!


Lots of people have signed it. Mostly friends that have come over. Ady, Matt and Tanner had to sign it too. They were so excited!



And a story about Warren with a cute picture. This picture was taken while he was playing with Alan, our neighbor kid. Warren loves Alan and Alan loves Warren.


So the last few weeks Warren has been a climbing fool. He has been climbing everything he can. I was in Ady's room changing Bennett and Warren climbed up the bunk beds....oh no! I told Ady that it was very unsafe for Warren to be in her room so she needed to close the door. She kept forgetting and a few times I would go in and find him happily perched on her bed! I told her again and again to close her door, that it was unsafe and if he fell he could get hurt really bad. So I was in the kitchen cooking dinner and Ady starts screaming. Unfortunately this isn't an unusual thing in our home so I wasn't as quick to react as I should've. When I finally made it to her room Warren was hanging by his neck from her ladder. I just about lost it!!!! Needless to say she has lost her ladder and she was very shaken up by it and keeps her door closed.

Let's just hope these little boys can get big fast so we don't have to stress so much!!!!!
