a little boy playing happily in the sandbox
It's been a long day, so I'll share the story tomorrow - I need to catch some zzz's while both the littles are catching theirs.
But I did want to share that the cast is off - and after he woke up from the ride home from the hospital, we plopped his bottom in the sandbox for two hours (and yes..he has a peeling sunburn, who knew hanging out outside in a black wheelchair could fry a kid so fast?) and he was giddy. (And I left his side for only little moments) He got up on his knees a few times, but is very shaky. He tried to stand, but was like a little lamb straight out of the womb - it'll definitely be a few days before he's walking.
From the sandbox - he went to the tub, and played there for nearly another hour, boy...was I anxious for that. He really didn't have that much dead skin - but definitely was stinky after 5 casted weeks and the tub was delightful.
He's sleeping well...let's hope all night long
Again, thank you for thinking of us.....
thanks for posting. glad to hear it's off and he looks so happy!

I didn't realise how happy I would be to see him out of his cast again. When I saw the photo I had an inner woohoo of joy!
