Bummer Summer Number Two

Our summer has been a bummer because of that boot over there... My kiddo on the 2nd day of Vacation Bible School (officially 4th day of summer vacation) broke her growth plate in her left ankle.

Apparently, VBS is dangerous or at least hazardous to growth plates.

After our doctor visit this morning we have learned that she will be wearing this thing-a-ma-bob until the first three days of school.  Grr.

It is a bummer of a summer.  She has been unable to:

• ride her bike
• run
• skip
• jump
• swim
• walk long distances
• play in the ocean in Florida
• ride in the boat at the lake
• enjoy the hot tub

Previously there was a bummer summer between kindergarten and first grade as she recovered from mono.  I certainly hope that there is not a four-year pattern emerging.  

I am off to try and find more 'keeping-her-busy-activities' to make the time pass.
