Knight Adventures

Becky and Jim gave him this Lion scooter walker thing for his birthday. He loves to mash the nose to make the music play but he hasn't figured out what else it is for yet. He will push it around but gets mad when it gets stuck in the corner. Nathan is learning and discovering every day. He watches everything we do and tries to copy us. He has spent a great deal of time trying to turn doorknobs which he can't quite get a good hand hold of yet. He watches me very closely when I vacuum and wants to either help or do it himself because he is always getting in the way. His leg seems to be doing good because he is back to climbing in and over and around everything. We have had to scoot things back from the edge of the dining room table because his reach has expanded. I guess we will have to start putting things up for real now. In preparation for a possible move, I have taken to cleaning out and boxing up stuff to give away or take to consignment (i'm not up for a yard sale, plus...

We got a referral to see an orthopedic pediatrician associated with LeBonheur in Memphis/Collierville - since evidently there are no doctor's around here that know anything about kids =). The doctor looked at Nate really good and glanced at the xrays we had taken in the beginning and said 'i know what it is. we could do another xray but i don't think it is necessary because it looks to be healing straight. It's a toddler's fracture, nondisplaced. he might limp for another couple of weeks, but he doesnt need a cast.' He said that the toddler's fracture doesn't show up really good on xray until at least two weeks later. He asked if he ever ran a fever, no. So finally a diagnosis that makes sense! yea! And of course, I google the whole thing. And the xray examples look just like Nathan's! I guess it isn't bad enough to warrant a cast. ...
