Cast

CI is upset, she is 5 so this happens more often than you can imagine. Today is because Husband just let her know that she had to have her cast changed this week. Her arm is broken, just from her being herself. Let me take you on a time trip, 5 years ago she showed up early, by about a month just cause she wanted to and nobody was going to stop her. Things have been that way ever since. If you can tear it up, she will, even if YOU think she cant, she will. If it can be spilled, dropped, stepped on flipped off of, fell on tripped over she will.
She rarely does any of it with intent, you know that thing you need to be charged with it. Things just happen around her. She is an accident waiting on a place to happen. She writes I LOVE YOU MOMMY on the wall (atleast at 2 that was what she said it said) in marker, still dont know where she got the marker. She swallowed a plastic duck (X-Ray 1) she fell out of her brother's bed and put her tooth threw her lip, she fell and hit her head on the snake tank (X-Ray 2, superglued her head together at the hospital) Bloodied her nose walking into the wall because her shoes lit up and she liked watching them. Do you want me to continue?
Now dont get the impression she is an airhead, she is not. She could talk in sentences before she was 13 months old, she is above grade level in everything, her Pediatrician says she is just showing off. She is inquisitive and smart, and expresses herself well and often. She talks constantly even in her sleep, about everything, anything...
Back to the point, CI broke her arm 3 weeks ago bouncing on her bed, after the MILLIONTH time being told not to. She bounced too hard and her bed bounced her out into the floor. She cried, but not horriblely, no bruise, no swelling. And she kept playing, the key was she was still, she wasnt running, jumping, skipping, hopping, you know being herself.
So, I took her to the hospital. When we got there all the nurses looked at me like I was stupid, she was singing, climbing, throwing her bunny in the air and catching it. But to humor me they did the X-Ray (# 3). Came back with a Buckle Fracture of her Radious. We were all kinda suprised...
CI has a cast, she has grown attached to it, believes she wants to keep so that she can keep from getting hurt later. Now the Doc wants a smaller one on, just for a couple of weeks. She informed Husband she wants to break the other arm so that she can just wear them and not get hurt anymore. Husband told me he would have the situation handled when I got home. I think I should buy a helmet and a big roll of bubble wrap on my way to the house...
