So....I was finishing cleaning up dinner when Karlee runs in screaming, "Cole broke his leg!" I should start off by saying I had spent most of the day at the hospital with Josh who was in his first round of chemo..and Karlee has had a huge infatuation with breaking her leg. She even talked my mom into buying crutches from good will while I was at girls camp. So my initial response was.."whatever" well I look out the window and see Jeff hunched over him and the I thought..."you gotta be kidding me!" Jeff was out jumping with all the kids as he does most days and he caught a bounce and came down wrong. apparently it made a cracking noise and was followed by lots of crying. We packed up the car and headed to the hospital. On our way out Karlee was very sad and said, "I wish it was me that broke my leg." It was very traumatic for him until he got some vicadine. then it was pure entertainment. He was super loopy and very funny. It got a splint and we went on our way. 2 days later he got his cast which is all the way to his mid thigh and very red cause that's his favorite color. They said he could walk on it with a boot in 24 hours so the cast could set. He was so nervous so I carried him for the first 5 days and man was that hard. We even had crutches and he was to nervous...I think the pain was still too fresh. now he is a walkin fool on his boot and he very rarely uses his crutches. there is not much that slows him down...no swimming was the hardest. I caught him on the trampoline jumping....what a weirdo! Family walks became a "who get pushed in the wheel chair" fight. Karlee and Cole would share and Grady would just throw himself on the ground. Its kinda crazy he has to start Kindergarten in a cast...so did Karlee. We have started a tradition.
