Broken, Round Two

So the day after Jack got his cast, he and I were shopping, I turned around to get something off the shelf and when I turned back he had pulled off his cast! Imagine my dismay and complete surprise. Turns out this is pretty common among toddlers, since their arms are larger than their hands (or something like that). So we took another trip back to urgent care where they split the cast in two and now we’re using it along with an ace bandage to hold everything together. Needless to say we’re re-wrapping and putting the cast on quite a few times a day. Turns out he only needs to wear it about another week. I guess three weeks is typical recover time for a toddler (lucky them!).

As you can see from the picture Jack is not the only family member with a cast, today Gus had a little accident. We’re not quite sure what happened, but Gus tore a nail. We took him to the vet hospital and now he’s sporting a charming red bandage. Hopefully that is enough drama for this week.
