First Cast.....

Bright and early Wednesday the 20th Wyatt went in to get his cast on.

(enjoying breakfast in the waiting room)


He was so good while they had to take off the soft cast and get him ready for the hard cast. Wy and Daddy picked out the green one. They didn't have camo, but if they did I know our little guy would have loved playing hide and seek with that:)

His poor little leg had so many creases and wrinkles from the soft cast so they put a little extra padding around those parts just to make sure they didn't become too irritated.

We kept him full of milk and teddy grahams the whole time to keep him from wiggling and falling off the table.

He was such a trooper!!! We go back in 2 weeks to take xrays through the cast to make sure everything is healing right. After about 4-5 weeks the cast will come off and he will most likely have a boot to wear for a little while. Right now he gets so frustrated because he hasn't figured out how to stand yet...but I think he'll get there:) He's a tough little guy!!!

Camping and other fun adventures...

We took our last camping trip for the season to our favorite place around here.

The campground, every year, has this weekend set aside as their "Fall Colors" weekend. It is a great time for families to come and camp and they have lots of fun things for kids to do. Saturday is the big day for the activities and they have games, roasts, bounce houses, candy hunts, etc. for everyone to do. We invited a few families from church out on Saturday to roast hotdogs and s'mores that evening then enjoy the trick-or-treating that happens from campsite to campsite too.

Wyatt got to play in a big leaf pile for the first time and really enjoyed finding sticks and flinging leaves with it:)

I forgot to take a picture of him but this kid slept like a marshmellow! He had on a onesie, 2 fleecy feety pj's, plus a fleece jacket and mittens and a stocking cap! He definitely seemed warm enough for the 40 degree weather that we had at night:)

We had a lot of fun Saturday when the families came out fishing, going on canoe rides, playing games and just hanging out together!

Our other fun adventures for the weekend started on Saturday evening. We thought that Wyatt was just really cranky and tired because he was fussing a lot and didn't want to be put down. Even before bed as he was getting ready with all his layers on the fussing continued. The next morning...the same thing! Then when we thought 'ok, just put him down and let him walk around and throw sticks, that will make everything better'....nope. We finally figured out that his left leg was hurting so much that he couldn't stand and was having a hard time crawling! We decided to pack up and head out earlier than we planned and when we got home and put him down for a nap I called the pediatrician's office....long story that keeps going we went to the Prompt care for xrays and he has a broken left leg!!!! It happened when he was going down a slide on Saturday!

My mommy mind just kept going through everything of the last hours thinking of all the times that we grabbed his leg to put on shoes, socks, change his diaper, set him down to walk and play. All those times he was crying and we just thought he was cranky, but we were hurting him!! Oh, did I cry:( The doctor put that cute little chubby leg in a soft cast and on Wednesday bright and early we go in to get the hard cast put on.

My baby is barely a year and already has broken a bone!! I thought that stuff would happen when didn't look like a drunk as he walked anymore. Wrong! We are so thankful that God allowed us to get good medical help and that the injury didn't progress to something worse. Now, we are just watching our little man crawl around like a wounded animal with his heavy leg dragging behind. I think he just might have to learn to walk again after the thing comes off!!
