What kind of parent are you?

Garrick is a bit of a klutz, and he definitely gets it from me. He hurts himself when he is running around all the time. He'll land funny and hurt his foot. Well at Carl's parents over the 24th he was playing with his cousins and smacked his foot on a couch or the coffee table or something and hurt it. He has been limping on it for a whole week and we figured it was bruised. Then Monday he was running around and fell, started crying and wouldn't put any weight on his foot. We decided we should figure out what was going on so we took him to the after hours clinic. They took an x-ray and his foot is fractured. So my little man is running around in a splint now and then maybe a cast for 4-6 weeks. Funny thing is when he wanted a sucker at the Dr. office he ran right over and asked. So he isn't too bad but we did feel bad that we didn't get him in sooner. (He is pretending to be sad here.)
He keeps telling me that it is all better and that I can take the splint off. Fun.

Glad we got to swim with you guys before the little accident. Also glad to know that someone else in the world is klutzy like Wyatt and I. Don't you love when you keep telling the kids to toughen up and then you learn that something really is wrong?
