A jumping mishap

It was bound to happen.  Braedon is a little daredevil who loves to jump.

He spent his whole summer mastering this skill, after all.

On Wednesday we went to Happy Hallow and Braedon was playing in the playground area.  He was jumping off of one of the rock structures, because he will jump off anything.  It only took one time to land wrong.  For the whole day we thought he had hurt his foot because that is what he said was hurting.  As we were standing in line for the roller coaster he asked me to carry him and was walking with a very bad limp.  Yes, even though he was in pain he still had to ride the roller coaster, and the frog hopper.  We just had to carry him from ride to ride. 

Braedon is a very tough boy and never complains about any pain or little injuries that he might get.  So this was somewhat of a red flag.  Derek called the doctor while we were in line for the roller coaster and she said if he still wasn’t walking without pain the next day to bring him in.  Well, that morning he wouldn’t even try to walk.  He was crawling everywhere, which wasn’t a good sign, so we took him to the doctor.  It turns out that it is his hip.  She said to keep an eye on him and carry him around for the next few days and everyday see how he reacts when he tries to walk.  Today when I went and got him he didn’t even want to stand up from bed. 

I can tell he is in pain not only by not wanting to walk, but he has been very mellow the last couple of days.  He hasn’t shown any interest in playing with his toys and he is taking very long naps, like three hours long.  There has been a lot of cuddle time.

I really hope there is some improvement over the next couple of days.  I want my energetic baby back!

As for Adi, well she has been trying to rock the cute headbands Grandma Peterson made for her.

She doesn’t quite understand what accessories are for though and prefers to eat them.

Right after I put her little head band on she will work it down over her eyes until it gets to her mouth.

Maybe she knows something I don’t know…new trend for 2012?  Maybe.
