In September Jack broke his arm. This was our first incident with a broken bone, and he handled it like a trooper! He was climbing a tree that had a bench under it, and when he was trying to get down, his upper body came out before his legs. He hit the bench on his way down. He was in a lot of pain, but I didn't realize it was broken. Later that evening, I started to worry it might be broken, but he was ready for bed at 7:00 and seemed to be OK. We borrowed a sling from a friend, and I sent him to school the next morning while I waited for the doctor's office to call me back. I arranged for an x-ray later in the morning, and I check him out of school. It was definitely broken, and by lunchtime we had an appointment with the orthopedist. Jack decided he wanted a red cast, and he was very brave throughout the whole thing!
Over the summer Jack and Brent read the "real" Winnie the Pooh books. I commented that Jack reminded me a lot of Christopher Robin, so he decided that's who he would be for Halloween. We used tiger costume to dress Joe like Tigger. They were quite a cute pair!
