I Think This is the Best Day of My Life

That title is a quote, from Wyatt, today. I think it's probably a very astute comment, for today was the day he was cleared to stop wearing his sling. YAHOO!!!! We all survived the first broken bone. His x-ray shows a distinct ball of calcification around the break site and that the bone managed to go from about a 60-degree angle to more of a 20-degree angle. We call that success.

I asked the ortho all about logistics - follow ups? soccer? limitations? - and Wyatt asked only one thing: "can I swing?" Of course the answer was yes, and obviously we stopped at a park today.

That, my friends, was some seriously joyful swinging! Natalie was not left out of the fun and I'm sure it was a great day for her, too, since our park outings have been on hold until Wyatt could participate. She had a fine time on the slides, the teeter totter and the swings. I love seeing them have such fun together and, in case you can't tell, it was pretty much the perfect park-going day around here.
