I knew when I married X that this day would finally arrive. X has passed on his extreme activeness and curiosity to our child and I knew it would equal ER visits, casts, stitches, and such. I just didn't think it would happen so soon (or on my watch!).
We were shopping at Target and he was trying to climb out of the shopping cart. I stopped the cart to get him out and let him walk (since the monkey was not going to stay in), but I guess the inertia of the cart stopping was enough for him to topple out (since he already had one leg over).
He broke both bones in his forearm at a 20 degree break. Fortunately, an orthopedic surgeon that X knows well (and that my sister-in-law Kristy works for) was able to slip us right in and took great care of us. X met us at the doctor's, which I'm thankful for since I was a mess. I truly think I cried today more than he did.
He'll get a permanent cast on Friday and will be in it for 3-4 weeks...so Graydon gets to celebrate his birthday with a cast on. Awesome. I guess I'll also need to put off the swimming lessons we were to start in 3 weeks!
He's been so good and really hasn't been sad. He's been totally fine and wants to play like normal. Kids are so resilient...wish I could be more like that. 
This is Graydon at home with his "entourage," three blankets, his monkey, and kitty.
