So the rumor is now officially true: after falling off a 6 INCH high toy at school, Xander has broken his leg. Dr. Oswald, the pediatric orthopedist, did one quick exam on him, hit the “sweet spot” (my words not his) and figured it out. He ordered a couple more x-rays just to be sure. Sure thing. Hairline fracture of his right tibia. Whoopee! (she says sarcastically).
My son is not yet two (he turns 2 on April 9th) and he’s already broken a leg…is this a sign of things to come? Should I be worried?!? I mean, I broke and dislocated my elbow at 10, but that’s because I was clumsy…not a daredevil. Perhaps he’ll be an amazing professional something or other: snowboarder, football player, soccer player, cyclist, dancer…wait…forget that last one.
When it came time for the cast, I asked the doctor for hot pink and they looked at me like I was crazy! What? My son can’t have a pink cast?!? What kind of world is this!?! Ok…so I wouldn’t really put him in a pink cast. He got black.
Honestly, my little man is taking it in stride. He doesn’t like the huge black thing on his leg, but he’s got the best disposition regardless.
Here he is cheesing it up for the camera (and all the while remaining modest). We make life fun…even with broken bones!
ps-I still believe in God’s promises (even if he didn’t answer this prayer!)
I’m also still booking mini-sessions for 4/10 & 4/11 as well as 4/17 & 4/18. I only have a couple more spots available!!! Email me: brianne@briannewhitworth.com
Please keep sending in pictures of yourself if you’re between the ages of 16 and 20 (I think that communicates what I’m looking for better than the word “senior”). Looking for female and MALES to do a special “senior” photo session with me.
Loves. Make it count.
