Tibia...

Well...life took an unexpected turn on Thursday when Ryan broke his leg. He was at the YMCA in a toddler discovery class with my dad and my cousin Brandon. He was just being a toddler, running, jumping, playing...and he took a fall that fractured his tibia. Turns out it is a very common break often referred to as the "toddler's fracture" and heals quickly. But in the meantime, Ryan has a long leg cast and can't walk or crawl for four weeks. We will be carrying him and toting him in a wagon for a month and have the buff arms to prove it!

Day one was sad...our busy, busy, little guy had a tough time understanding WHY "the man" put a cast on his leg. He kept saying, "take it off mama...take it off daddy" and there were some tears for sure. But by today, Ryan has adapted well and woke up saying "Cast on leg. Can't walk." and spent the day playing with new toys from Grandma, Auntie Myra and cousin Nicole. We also took a trip to the fire department to see a fire engine and then had a picnic at Chambers Bay. Lots of family time, one-on-one time and fresh air seem to be the ticket!

Thank you to all of our wonderful friends and incredible family for your support! It will be cumbersome at times and I know he is going to get "cabin fever" - but we're counting our blessings he is a healthy little boy who only has a broken leg. And we know it will bring some unexpected blessings (like extra snuggle time, more alphabet studying, fine motor skill development, etc) to have him slowed way down for the next month. Here are some photos from the last 48 hours....love to you all!

Toddler Talk

So yes, I use blogging to share photos and updates with family and friends. I also use it to personally document funny things, milestones, and tid-bits I would otherwise probably forget. So...while there is no photo for you all tonight, there is this.

This weekend Ryan said to me, "Mama poop yucko...any questions?"

Nope, no questions! I got it!

Happy Friday

Bike Ride

Camping

Last weekend we went camping with Rob's sister Gloria and her family. It was great to see the cousins all play together. Ryan also really started riding his bike! The weather was great and we have managed to finally wash all the campfire smell out of our hair around here :)

Pool

We hit some temps in the high 90s last week and brought out the pool. Ryan was so tickled to have Kai join him in the water!

I hope Rob doesn't mind I've posted this! It was just too cute to pass up :)

4th of July

The Fourth of July we celebrated our fourth anniversary and enjoyed a gathering and dinner at my Uncle Jack and Aunt Ling's house. My cousin Jessica and my parents were there as well.

Ryan rode his new quad and bicycle from his Auntie Myra and cousin Nicole as well as a bike my dad found (that is pink!).

What a fun day!!
