Yesterday morning the kids were playing around the house and their roughhousing became too rough. Even though they were right behind me I didn't quite catch what happened until I heard a thud and turned to see Sarah on the tile floor, on all fours crying. Soon I discovered that she was really hurt and she wasn't able to put any weight on her right foot at all. She seemed ok as long as she was sitting down so I gave it a day to see if it would get better. She was quite fussy all day yesterday but she figured out quickly how to get carried all around the house, just like a princess. 
This morning wasn't much better so I decided to take her in. We spent most of the day going from the doc to the hospital to get x-rays and then back to the doc. The prognosis is optimistic, it doesn't appear that she broke anything but with kids I guess you never know for sure. I have no idea how my parents got me to take x-rays at 3 with two broken collar bones, maybe they gave me some sedating medication. Sarah was less than thrilled and decided to practice screaming at the top of her lungs, which by the way is really loud.
So I took a picture of Hunter while he was entertaining himself at the doctor's office. He was playing with the exam table and he discovered the stirrups. We discussed that they were usually for women but he wanted to demonstrate to Sarah how they were used. We also went out for lunch after the scream-fest at the hospital. I wanted to make sure that they understood that sometimes when you're sick or hurt you also get to have special goodies, hence the special lunch AND milkshakes.
Considering the day that we had they both did pretty good. Hunter really did well going from place to place without causing a total path of destruction behind us. The day is coming to a close and it's time to finally get some much deserved rest.
