Why Did I Say That?

It was no more than 3 hours between the time that I wrote that I probably should start setting aside money for a trip to the ER and the time that we were in fact on our way to minor emergency with a boy with a broken arm.

I was guessing it would be Henry, but it was actually Lucas who fell off his bike.

I hope that doesn't mean that it is ultimately my fault.

Does it?

From what I hear, it was not even really a good lead up to the fall.

He apparently was trying to avoid a puddle as he was coming to a stop, turned his wheel wrong, and then down he came.

It was definitely a hard fall, but I think he needs to work on a more dramatic story to tell everyone!

On the up side, though, when you are his age, it's super exciting to get to go to school with a cast!


--For the record, our injury tallies so far are:

  • Lucas: broken arm twice (same place both times)--the first time was at 17 months

  • Josh Oliver: broken arm and 13 stitches in his lip after a fight with a can

  • Henry: no trips to the ER (we have no way to explain how he has escaped serious injury! It certainly isn't because he's our most cautious one!)
