Parenting Lesson 331

"You do not have wings, you can not fly" should come before the "You can do anything you put your mind to" speech.

WARNING: When these lessons are given in the wrong order, this may happen:
1. An appointment with the pediatrician, who we love and has all these cool rooms, but who we prefer not to see all that often.


2. An afternoon of running around to get an X-ray, which ultimately leads to an appointment with an Orthopedic Specialist, who determines that this is necessary:
Now he thinks he's really cool - Not sure exactly what he's doing with his hands in this picture, but am pretty sure I have Kaitlyn to thank :)And all because he wasn't wearing his new "Super Hero Cape" from Aunt Melissa.
By the way, Keiric wanted an orange cast since it's his new favorite color, but they didn't have orange so he settled on green.

Good news is: It's water-resistant so he can still swim at a Labor Day party, and it should come off in 3 weeks without any lasting damage. Also, our new medical insurance through Jeremy's new teaching job at North Pointe Preparatory High School started September 1st, and Keiric waited until 7 pm that night to do this stunt!

**Also, I realize that this is our first post in a long time, and I would love to catch up with what we did this summer, especially since I have some great pics. I will try.

  1. So I forgot to look at this a few days ago, but apparently as a "follower" I don't get an e-mail reminding me you wrote a blog. But anyways I'm pretty sure you are right about Keir's hands...it def looks like a "peace out" thing to me! haha! And glad to hear it should be a quick recovery!

  2. So...just noticed that Keir is at the soccer locker in one of those pics. What were you guys doing there?

  3. I laughed the whole way through this post! I am sure at the time it wasn't so funny, but looking back now - there's got to be a few good laughs :) Tell Keiric we hope he heals soon :)
