Thanks Jessica for reminding me that I haven't posted!!! YES! It's gone. Today is a week without the cast. ( I got Emry's adorable announcement the other day too! Thanks! Such a gorgeous baby!) This video was at the park where it all began a month and a week ago. I had some nerve going to the park, huh? We just had to celebrate. He's doing really well. We go back in 3 weeks for the doctor to make sure it's still healing well. I actually called this morning because he's still walking funny, but they said he would do that for a pretty long time. He's very careful with his leg. Not too careful, but careful for a 20 month old. He's not been as brave. He did climb in the middle of the table today. He's still slow of course, but he's bending his leg more naturally now. BATHS are the BEST! He was so happy to have a proper bath. I have that video on the camcorder so who knows when you'll see that. Cam was excited telling everyone that his brother's cast was gone. The next week when we went back to school he informed his teacher that Keiler Aiden's cast was still gone. I have the cast and I have to say at first it was like I was holding a piece of my child and it was really weird. Like that should have been on him still. It was remarkably clean inside, lol. I just knew we'd find all sorts of surprises in there. It was a surprisingly drama free experience, but I don't recommend it for anyone, haha.


This was actually a week after he got the cast. This was the new norm. This was how we did outside time. Pull the baby around and everyone takes turns.
I tried to take a good picture of how filthy his cast was. This was last Wednesday, before it was removed, obviously. It got pretty dirty, so I'd scrub it with a rag and dry it. You can see around his thigh and foot how the white cloth got really dingy.
He got a sore on his foot from his cast and trying to walk. I never bandaged it because he wasn't supposed to be walking. I figured it would be good discouragement but it wasn't. He just kept walking. The cast got very worn from him crawling and being a 1 1/2 yr old boy!
He had lots of fans! I was surprised at how many people wanted to sign his cast!

This was at the park. It's really short and you'll see why, but it was so neat to watch my baby try and walk again.

I'm Glad Everything went well. It will probaby take some time to get all the muscle strength back in that leg. Boys will be boys. What a brave little guy!
