So today started with a trip to the X-ray rooms. Yesterday afternoon, while playing on her jungle gym, Grace stepped into a ditch in the garden and managed to do something to her left leg. The crying was not as bad as when she fractured her right leg (which was at 13 months), but she did not want to bear weight on it – just like when she fractured her leg. After some phone calls to the doctor we went off for X-rays, but got there after their normal business hours. So back we went this morning.
Fortunately nothing is fractured, and we had already seen that she was beginning to take some weight on her left leg again. We are not too sure exactly what she hurt, but she is now walking around with a bit of a limp. We have kept her off of her feet most of today, and she seems to be doing fine, just a little bit of pain if she walks or stands too much. Hopefully she will be 100% in a couple of days.
It turned out to be a bumpy ride for my girls today. Donné whacked her head so hard that she cried, and Grace took a dive off the toilet and left an imprint of the mat on her head. They are both fine. I made it through the day without injuring myself.

The mat imprint
Ah, the school of hard knocks! Hope you guys had a better safety record than 33% today đŸ™‚ You should have one of those signs they put up on industrial sites…”Days without accident [ ]”.
I like that idea… đŸ˜€
