A bath, a broken bone, and a birthday party for Brooke!

One of Levi's favorite things to do is to take a late morning bath! It's become an almost daily tradition - leaves him smelling yummy and feeling relaxed and ready for his nap. 

Well. Six and a half years into this parenting thing, and we have our first broken bone. I wouldn't have thought our careful cautious Beckett would be the first one either. He fell out of his bed on Thursday night and whined on and off all night about his shoulder/neck hurting. When he was still complaining about it the next morning and not using that arm much, I knew we had better go get it checked out. We kept frozen peas on it at home until our appointment. Isn't that a sad little face?

But he was in pretty good spirits once we got to the doctor. As long as he didn't move it wrong, he wasn't in you much pain. I even got this little smile out of him while we were waiting for the doctor to read his X-ray. 

I really was surprised to learn that his collarbone was broken. Poor guy. You can see here on his X-ray - the right clavicle is pretty smooth...then you see how the left one is kind of buckled up on the outer 1/3 part of it.  They've got him in a clavicle brace for three weeks, then we will go re-X-ray to see how it's healing. We are praying for a full recovery!

On Saturday morning, we went to celebrate Brooke's 10th birthday! 

Brody was spending the day with his Poppy, but Beckett and Levi had fun playing! ...and eating this yummy Hershey bar cake!

Happy birthday, Brookie! We love you!
