Katherine's Cast

On June 13, Katherine broke her little leg!  She was jumping on a trampoline with Auntie Manda and Madelynn and landed on her leg just right to fracture her bone just below the growth plate!!  She was a very sad girl.  But I would be a very sad momma if I didn't record all of the fun we had while she was in her cast.  The first day of having the cast on she realized that she could walk with the cast  and not have her leg hurt so bad and was going everywhere. She did not like to be dependant on me and kept telling me "No mommy, I can do it myself!" Katherine, being the crazy little girl that she is, used all of her strength to pull herself and her cast that weighs as much as she does, on top of the counter to get a piece of gum out of the cupboard!!  Needless to say after a week of wear and tear on the cast, she needed a new bottom to the cast.

Here she is just before getting the cast on.  She debated between pink and green, she chose green of course.  

And here is the finished product, she even chose a green sucker to go with her green cast!

Here are all of the adventures that the cast went thru during it's short 3 weeks of life. 

4th of July festivities of face painting and swimming in Mima's pool.  She really enjoyed herself when the water squirters came out and she could get all wet even though she couldn't go swimming!

Bath time had to be altered a bit to accommodate the cast.  The sink turned out to be the perfect solution.

Park time

Princess time. 

Swimming time with Uncle Chad and Auntie Katelyn while they were visiting from Washington.  We had so much fun with them!

Bug hunting time.  Notice the tomato worm on Madelynn's shirt!

The cast even made it into an attempt at family pictures!

Of course every moment wasn't full of exciting times with the cast.  She did have times when she got so sick of it.  At one point she even tried to remove it herself!!

But it is gone now.  I need to get a picture of her without her cast on.  Daddy took her to get her cast taken off today.  When she got home she put on her swimming suit and lounged in the kiddy pool all afternoon!!  She was so glad to be rid of it!!
