One Little Monkey Jumping On the Bed...

She fell off and broke her foot!

So here's the story...

Saturday-We spent the evening at Lindsay and Paul's place. Super fun; adults were in the kitchen eating Olive Garden take-out, while the kids played in the toy room (or so we thought). Along came a 'thud', followed by a little cry, and then we discovered the girls in the bedroom. One monkey (Sabrina) was still on the bed, while our little monkey was on the floor crying about her foot.

The crying subsided after only a couple of minutes, and we figured all was well.

Sunday-Kate had a little limp, but didn't act too bothered by it. She played great at her new "big-kid" nursery class (even spent most of the time playing like she was a kittie, supposedly). Later that night, she ran around with cousins.

Monday-Kate was still limping. Grandma Sandra talked us into taking her to the doc. I was sure it was just a twisted ankle, but took her anyway. After 3 sets of waiting rooms, some x-rays at the hospital, and a very uncomfortable moment in which Kate pointed to an extremely large woman and said out loud, "She's big!" I was very shocked to learn that she had two fractures in her right foot. I immediately felt so sorry for not taking her sooner.

The doc said the fractures were kind of inset on her foot, and in a place where she doesn't put a lot of weight and pressure down...so I guess we were kind of lucky. She'll have to wear her cast for 3 weeks.

Kate was a little unsure about the cast at first, but once she started receiving treats and get-well presents from various people, I think it's kind of grown on her.
