Bye bye hot pink cast!

This is from the day she got her cast, before all the signatures! (P.S. she was sick with the flu)

Today was the day, the cast is off! She had so many people sign her cast and she loved that. On the way to the Dr. she said she didn't want it off but I think she is so happy to have her arm back to normal. But I also think she liked all the attention! My big girl did so well at the doctor getting her cast off and getting two more X-rays. They showed her the saw and how loud it was and showed her on our skin how it would feel and that it wouldn't hurt. I just laughed and told her it tickled so she laughed the whole time they were cutting off the cast. On a side note, isn't there a better way to get casts off? That saw would freak me out! Then we got two more X-rays to confirm that she was healed and then we were out of there! She wouldn't use it for most of the day but she is leaning on her wrist now so I know she is fine. I can't believe how much her arm smelled and how dry it was. Her cast was only on for 2 weeks, I can't imagine one that is one for 6 weeks or more. Those people must be funky when those come off! On the way home I heard her in the backseat say, "They can't stop me now!" That made me chuckle to myself. The cast didn't slow her down one bit but it was just so funny that she said that. Then as I was putting lotion on her arm she said to me, "Mommy, I am so glad to have my skin back!" She is so hilarious! I wish I had some pictures to share from our adventure but Keith was holding Mason and Mommy was in charge of Sydney so sorry no pics. I wish I would have thought to take a last picture with the cast and then one right after she got it off but I didn't. I just hope this is the one and only time we have to do this. We have a boy coming up after her so who knows?!

Naked arm! Pardon the mess of a room!
