Casting # 5

So let me start with this. It's kind of confusing when I say casting 5 so I will explain. This is the fifth time we have gone for casts. You can't really count the first time as part of his six weeks. He has completed three weeks with his cast on and should have three more. I believe he will get them off December 12th.
He did so good today! Great infact. He cried for maybe two seconds when they first began with the saw and then just silence for the rest of the two and a half hour visit. As I mentioned last time Dr McGoodDaddy was on vacation and Dr McNewGuy would be helping us today. Although I have complete trust in him you could tell he was a little nervous and didn't have all the confidence Dr McGD has. I thought we would never leave the office.
Boy have his feet gotten smelly and on one foot his toes are all wrinkled like he has been in the tub for too long. Oh the tub, how I can't wait to give him a regular b@th again. No more sponge b@thes. No more dreams of dropping his feet into water. Anyway back to his feet, I just had to kiss them and kiss them. If you have been around me and a new baby for any length of time then you have heard me say that I was going to eat the baby's feet. I love baby feet, they are so irresistible. So to not be able to nibble little baby toes is torture. I just had to kiss them up, with my nose plugged of course. Poor little guy he can't help it.

Free legs. I can't imagine what this feels like to him. This kid really gives his abs a work out with all his leg lifts. The closest thing we can think of for you to imagine it for yourself is this...... Imagine wearing roller skates; not the new roller blades but the old ones. You know the ones I'm talking about, heavy as all get out, laced practically up to your knee real tight. Imagine you have worn them all night, you know, through girls skate, couples skate, backwards skate, all skate, on your head skate and whatever other weird skate we did in the 80's. Then it's time for your mom to pick you up, you take your skates off and your legs and feet feel so weird.

It must be like that. I guess, how would I know.
Oh, they are running low on colors. My choices were black, gray, orange or purple.
