WHAT A WAY TO KICK OFF THE SUMMER

On Wednesday Dalton was out playing in the yard. He was making his usual rounds on his bike, playing on the play set, playing in the creek etc. He decided it was time to jump the creek-again. Now mind you, he jumps the creek all the time so this is nothing new for him. (the creek is about 4 feet wide where he likes to jump) Dalton took off running and jumped, he made it, but he didn't land right, he was in flip flops, he hurt his foot. He complained that it hurt and hobbled around a bit but it didn't slow him down too much. By bedtime it was a whole nother story. The poor kid was crying that he was in pain. I gave him Tylenol and an ice pack and he finally cried himself to sleep. The next morning he was still in pain and couldn't walk on it so I made him an appointment to see the DR. He had his first xrays done. Nothing was broke just bruised. They told him to keep off of it and keep it elevated and to wear tennis shoes for a while for support. You know this is not going over very well. He can't sit still.

Last night we took Dalton to a local festival and pulled him around in his wagon. He wanted to ride the MECHANICAL BULL!! Needless to say he did not get to ride it. (I didn't have my camera with me hehe)
