How was your weekend?

Well,I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!I wish I could say that ours was filled with warm weather,BBQ,&running around playing in the kiddie pool.Instead we had no BBQ,cold weather,a trip to the ER,& our boy Dominic with a broken leg!




Well, it was Sunday around 5pm, dinner had been eaten and it was time for a little play in the house before baths.David and I were both in the office while the kids where watching TV and playing with their toys in the living room.We heard a sound and then we could hear Dominic crying.We rush in to check on him and he was holding his leg.There was no redness,swelling,or sign of an injury, but he was crying in pain.David assessed his leg and notice he wouldn't put any weight on it(I have to tell you,that I LOVE the fact that I am married to a Paramedic,just for this reason).We decided that he needed to go to the ER.David took buddy to the UCD ER.When he got there luckily there was not much of a wait.They took x-rays, and found out he has an lower fracture of the Tibia bone down by the ankle.Luckily, he didn't damage his growth plate.Dominic was a trooper,he only cried when they would touch it, and once he got a little Motrin on board he was fine.They put him in cast from his thigh to his toes and he will have to wear it for about 6 weeks.One doctor said for 4 weeks but we will see, whatever it takes to make it mend right.
While he was at the hospital I asked Sam what he was doing, and she says he was standing on his little dump truck.I think he was trying to ride it like a skate board and it just took off.Lately, he has become quite the little dare devil, I have caught him trying to stand on toys before and standing on our coffee table.I have never had this problem with Sam, I guess it comes with the territory of having a boy!
Today, was our first day with him in his cast.All I can say is that it is going to be a LONG 6 weeks for ALL of us.I feel like I have a 30lb 8month old.He can't walk in his cast,so we have to pack him around.We just feel so bad for our little buddy,he wanted to go outside and ride his bike so badly today.I have also told Sam that she is not going to be able to have their kiddie pool out until the cast comes off.I just think it would be so cruel to him, because he doesn't understand(I think I will have to sneak her over to Grandma "D" house with David for a swim or two).




Well, on a happier note Sam, finished her T-Ball last week and moves on to soccer in 2 weeks.She got her trophy,which she loves.I think sometimes that is why she plays is just for that shinny trophy, she is so proud of them,and we are proud of her.We actually signed her up for 2 soccer teams this year.The first one through the CSD goes from June til August, and David will be the assistant coach.The 2ND is EGYSL, its a league and she will be on a all girls team with girls from our neighborhood.It runs for from August through October.I can't believe I just signed away 4 months of Saturday, but oh well,its good for all of us and we enjoy it!





Oh, one more thing.Last month David and I decided to give Dominic his big boy room.I have to give a big shout out to my hubby for going the distance for me.When we first talk about doing it, we said we were just going to get new bedding and furniture and leave his room blue.Well, I like to coordinate things so I said "I want to do some red in his room", "oh and since we are at it can we add a little chair rail".Well, my honey & I came up with a design and David got his room all done in 2 days!I love how it turned out and more importantly so does Dominic!He stayed over at my parents house so it would be a surprise, and it was!His reaction was "WOW"&"Cool"!He loves fire engines, so now he can sleep with them!





Oh, and some of the walls look bare, but these are old photos.We still have a light, and a shelf coming, and David has something special planned for above his bed.
