So my little man fell off a chair and broke his arm on Wednesday. At exactly (almost) this time last year Kenedy fell of a chair and broke her right arm in the same place. So this incident felt a little bit like "dejavu".
As Garrett and I are getting ready to jet off to Mexico with my family and the kiddos are staying with Grandma and Grandpa this couldn't have happened at a worse time. I was already feeling a little nervous about leaving them behind and this accident didn't ease the tension I was feeling at all.
For those of you who know Gavin know that he is a pretty tough little guy. He falls a lot and bangs his head even more and it doesn't seem to faze him in the slightest. So as his mother I didn't think too much of his fall off the chair until that next morning when he refused to put any weight on his arm or use it AT ALL!!! He fell on his face numerous times in order to protect his arm. That is when I knew that there must be something wrong with him (DUH)!!!! We then spent our day at insta-care and were informed we had to wait a day to get it casted until the swelling went down. So we made an appointment with Shriner's Hospital and made a visit today to the INCREDIBLE staff there who took great care of my kiddo and made his "ouie" all better. From the moment his arm was casted he was off and running... and yes, trying to climb onto another chair. We don't learn very quickly I guess.
This is just a glimpse of what we will be dealing with in the future. (The broken bones thing is definitely a Welch trait). So in the end it looks a little sad to see a baby with a cast on his arm, but I can say that he is the same rough and tough Gavin that we was two days ago, and this little obstacle has not slowed him down in the least.

Flashback to last year when Kenedy broke her right arm in the same place as her little brother.
A happy face while playing with the toys at the Hospital!!
