Another Broken Arm




A few years ago, Sariah broke her arm after jumping on our bed and falling off. (The next year, Tierra was pushed down a slide and broke her arm, when she was only 18 months old.) This time, Sariah broke the opposite arm. All three have been buckle fractures, which are more like a bend in the bone then an actual break. Anyway, I wasn't in the room when she fell but I sure heard her scream. She screamed, "I broke my arm." When I asked how, she said she fell off the ball. So I told the Doctor that she was sitting on the ball and fell off. I was quickly corrected by Riana, who informed us, "She wasn't sitting Mommy, she was standing on the ball and jumping up and down." Well, then-- our little daredevil, no wonder she has broken two different arms. She was worried about having to wear her cast during Halloween (which didn't happen) until they offered her a Glow-in-the-dark cast. She (and all our girls) absolutely loved that! And of course, we decorated it too.
