Poor Soph!

Bad news: Our dear not-quite-17-month-old sweetie has a fractured tibia. She was sliding down the slide and twisted her leg. Apparently this is very common in small kids, so common, in fact, that they call it the toddler fracture. We saw her pediatrician, had x-rays and then saw the orthopedist. She doesn't need a cast, but she sure won't be walking for the next week or so. I guess I won't need to go to the gym, since I'll be lugging her very heavy little tush around everywhere until she regains her mobility. Let me tell you, though, she is one tough little cookie. She has hardly shed a tear about this whole thing (unlike her mommy) and is just as pleasant and sweet as ever, although I wonder if she'll ever want to slide again.

In the meantime, I'll be playing spell fast or die! Proceed with caution, it's very addictive.

Yes, I'm still in a hole. I'll crawl out soon.

So sad to hear (read) about Sophie! I would happily help you carry her around for the week if I was there. Give her kisses for me and keep us updated.

And shame on you for posting that typing game. Good thing my job is already ending or I'd soon be fired.

By the way, if you look at the high scores for the easy level for today (2/9/07) I am on the board: 94520. I also got a score over 100,000 earlier today at work but forgot to submit my score. Jon's mom is hooked, also.

Okay, I'm supposed to be blogging, but I'm playing this stupid typing game. On the board for today on medium: 117,340. :)

Glad Sophie doesn't have to wear a cast. Hope she gets to walking again soon! Otherwise, who is going to push Maddy around in the shopping cart?

It's on now, Spaghettipie.

I played the game twice, and it flared up my tendonitis! I'm on the board for now but sounds like not for long...

Oh, and I feel so bad for Sophie! Little kids should not be allowed to get hurt or sick - it's too hard on their parents!
