Another trip to the ER anyone?

I guess Ava felt it was her turn to take the lovely tour of the ER. It's funny how in the entire 6 years of mom-hood I have only been to the ER once in the States...and that was only for a high fever...and while here for 3 short months, on the complete opposite side of the world, my kids have decided now would be a good time to start becoming regulars. (Mayah, you'd better not even think of making it 3 for 3! Then they'd really be calling child services on me!)

So, Ava is now going home with her very own Singapore souvenir...the cutest little baby cast you've ever seen!! I guess she figured that since we began our trip with a visit to the ER we should end it the very same way :-) She fell while standing up at our coffee table playing. She hit her head on the table then braced herself with her wrists as she fell to the floor. She was crying so hard for so long and I really thought it was her head that was hurting her from hitting it on the table, but soon realized it was her wrist b/c every time I touched it or she would try to crawl on it she would scream in agony. The break is nothing too serious, just a broken wrist bone that will heal quickly in about 3 weeks. The doctor even said we might not need to put her in a cast..."Just keep her from falling on it again and she'll be okay", he said. I looked at him and laughed!! I told him that she just learned to walk and that she falls a minimum of 50 times a day right onto her wrists. His reply was "You don't think you could keep her from doing that for 3 weeks?" Again, I just looked at him and laughed. So a teeny tiny baby cast it is for Miss Ava.

Look out Connor & Mayah...if you get in my way or steal my toys I'll whack you with my robo-baby-arm!

As you can see she's still as happy as usual, just using her left hand for most things. I thought these pictures were cute of Ava first trying to give the baby it's binkie just like hers and then trying to steal it for herself :-)
