"And The Doctor Said, 'No More Monkeys...'"

Kyler's had a rough few months. He got a tooth pulled, poked in the eye by his sister, and now a broken arm! Kyler is yet another victim of the monkey bars! Both bones were broken in his left arm just above the wrist. He has been such a trooper though! He never complains of pain and he insists on being independent. We all forget that he's wounded because he hasn't slowed down a bit! He misses riding his bike, but he was very relieved that his injury has not in any way affected his beat boxing abilities. I got a huge smile out of him when I told him that he got to have a break from piano, but now he says he's actually missing it! Now, that is music to Mom's ears!
As soon as Kyler returned from the hospital with his sling, Carson immediately started experiencing sympathy pains. His foot became 'broken' too, so he received a homemade cast, and he proceeded to hop on one foot throughout the day.
Through his accident, Kyler has realized just how very loved he is! He received calls, cards, and treats from many friends and family members. My favorite (not Kyler's) was this note from a little admirer in his class! He was too embarrassed to pose in a picture with it because of the heart! I have to enjoy these days when he doesn't like girls. I know it won't last forever!
