THE WRONG LIMB

So, my little Dillon had a little fall last week out of his high chair. Once I made sure that there was no serious head injury and he had stopped crying, I though that everything was hunky dory. I put him on the floor and usually he is off as fast as can be crawling and getting into everything. This time, he just sat there and looked at me. He started to get into the crawling position when he started crying and just sat back down. Huh? I tryed everything to get him to crawl to me, he wouldn't. He finally decided he could scoot on his bum and get around okay without using his legs, ( or so I thought). I immediately thought there was something wrong with his leg. I call the Dr. and he tells me I have to take him to Primary Children's to get x-rays. So, my Mom and I hop in the car and drive up to the hospital. 5 HOURS & 2 leg x-rays later we FINALLY get out of there. They did not find anything wrong, so I was just supposed to watch him to make sure it starts to get better. A couple of days pass and still no crawling. He will walk while holding my hand and move his legs around fine, it's only the crawling that is bothering him. I started growing a little suspicious that maybe it wasn't his leg afterall. I finally came to the conclusion that it was his wrist that was bothering him. Stupid me. I felt so bad that I hadn't caught it before then and had wasted all that time getting x-rays on his legs. So, we found out last night that he does have a small fracture in his wrist and has to be in a cast for 3 weeks. Poor little baby. I feel so bad for him! He is just in a little splint right now, and is doing really well with it. I will post pictures soon when he gets his actual cast on!

A LITTLE RANT

SO I HAVE BEEN THINKING LATELY ABOUT SOME STUFF. IT SEEMS I HAVE BEEN BOMBARDED LATELY WITH WOMEN THAT ARE "CRAFTY". I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT CAN MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING NOR DO I WISH I COULD. I DO NOT HAVE THE PATIENCE FOR SEWING, STAMPING, SCRAPBOOKING, PAPER CRAFTING & ANYTHING ELSE THAT INVOLVES A NEEDLE & THREAD, RIBBONS, GLUE, VINYL LETTERING ETC. I THINK IT'S GREAT IF YOU LOVE TO DO THAT KIND OF THING, JUST DON'T MAKE THE REST OF US FEEL DUMB IF WE CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE CURTAINS OUT OF AN OLD PAIR OF PANTS. I JUST CAN'T SEE IT AND I DON'T THINK I EVER WILL. I HAVE TO ADMIT WHEN I FIRST HAD MASON AND WAS NO LONGER WORKING, I THOUGHT I WAS JUST SUPPOSED TO START DOING THINGS LIKE THAT. CAMERON WOULD JUST LAUGH AT ME AND SAY "HONEY, IT'S JUST NOT YOU". HE IS RIGHT, IT'S NOT ME. SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE A CRAPPY MOM BECAUSE I CAN'T MAKE MY KIDS CLOTHES, OR COME UP WITH "FUN" CRAFTS FOR THEM TO DO DURING THE DAY. MY IDEA OF KIDS CRAFTS IS A COLORING BOOK AND CRAYONS. SO FOR ALL OF YOU MOM'S LIKE ME OUT THERE,(I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE RIGHT?) DON'T FEEL SO BAD ABOUT YOURSELVES. OKAY, I'M DONE.

Mason has this little friend that lives next door. Her name is Jessi and they have a lot of fun together. She is a little older but it doesn't seem to matter to them! She will even play dinosaurs with him. So cute.
