This was my favorite shirt on Ethan, his orangish hair was fantastic with this shirt...I have a picture of Wilson in this shirt fishing with Nate, so when I finally could put it on Sam I thought what memory can we make in it...I didn't think it was going to be having it cut off his little body not on a sew able seam!!! Last Tuesday, around 6 am Sam had finished eating breakfast and was getting down from the table, he lost his footing and fell, it wasn't a far fall, but he landed on his arm and it snapped, he was so brave he cried or whimpered a bit I new something was wrong but didn't want to bug Nate he was heading out to work, so while the kids were getting ready for school he held it close but wasn't crying. Finally around 9am he was still babying it I held his good hand and asked him to reach for a cookie and he wouldn't so I decided to take him to Urgent Care, his sweet Dr. was gentle and kind Sam had the whole office ooooing and ahhhhhing over him, one he is so cute, and two he would tell them "my aaarmmm is broken" all with a smile, he was x-rayed still with a smile. They splinted and sent us to the ortho. Through this I still hadn't filled Nate in on what was going on, so when we were done I called him from outside his hospital and said if you are bored I have a case for you to read, he came out and felt so bad because Sam was hurt but not showing it. Anyway the ortho doesn't cast this kind of injury, so he is wrapped and slinged for the next 4 weeks. He doesn't act hurt only mad when we chase him down and take him off the trampoline, or when we tell him he can't play steamroller with the big kids. He is mastering left hand and doing well!!!





his cute little chicken arm. you can see the break just below the shoulder joint.
