| <p>It was just last night, I think, that I was IM'ing with a friend and I said, "Next week Simon starts going to |
| school for 3 days extended (until 3pm) and Sophia starts swim camp! I won't know what to do with my free time! But I'm |
| willing to find out."</p><p>You know the old saying: "Man plans, God laughs."</p> |
| <p>Today I got a call from the preschool telling me that Sophia had broken her arm.</p> |
| <p>It happened on the playground. I imagined she had fallen off the monkey bars or something, but no: she had been sitting |
| at the Art Table, and as she was getting off the bench she slipped and fell on her arm. She was being very brave when I came |
| to get herÑno tears, stoically holding her arm covered in ice packs. She <i>had</i> cried, she told me. All of the teachers |
| were quite amazed at how brave she was being. I took her to the doctor and from there to the pediatric orthopedic doctor. |
| She started to lose her composure, though, after she had finally gotten the X-rays ("Like Curious George got when he |
| went to the hospital") and we had to wait in the exam room.</p> |
| <p>"I want to go home now," she said. "I wish I'd never hurt my arm."</p> |
| <p>The ortho tech came in to give her a splint (she'll have a splint for a couple of days and then get a cast on Thursday), |
| and can I tell you how worrisome it is to have an ortho tech who is a <b>dead ringer</b> for Ian McShane as Al Swearengen |
| wrapping up your daughter in gauze? (I'm totally serious. He didn't have grease in his hair, and he didn't have the |
| little beard under his lip, but other than that: yup.)</p> |
| <p>So now she's on the couch, watching "Dragontales" with her arm propped up on a pillow (to keep it above the heart). |
| She's eating a couple of cut-up apples and cheese sticks ("because that's all I can eat now, Mommy").</p> |
| <p>She's upset because she's not going to be able to do all the swimming she was planning. I'm upset because my |
| little girl got hurt. I assume that after a day or so we'll adjust to the new regimen. Of course, she can't go to her last |
| day of preschool tomorrow, because they're having "Water Days," and she can't get wet.</p> |
| <p>The weather's finally gotten extremely hot around here, and she can't get her splint (and in a few days, her cast) wet. <i>Neat.</i></p> |
| <p>I've never broken anything (knock on nearest wood sprite)Ñdoes it affect your outlook on life? |
| She has an adventuresome spirit and I hope she's just as energetic after this little incident as she was before. |
| At the moment she's even lost her sense of humor.</p> |
