At the end of July (just a few days before her birthday) Hailey broke her wrist. She just fell at the playground. She was hanging on the side of a playground bridge and when she fell she landed on her wrist. We weren't sure there was really anything wrong with it because she calmed down fairly well and was even using it, although quite gingerly. When she was still favoring it a lot a day later we took her in for x rays. Sure enough - it ws a buckle fracture. That was why it wasn't so obvious that it was broken. She only had to have a cast for three weeks. At first she loved it :) Summer casts are not fun at all - we had to figure out a way for her to play and swim without it getting wet. Our first few attempts with bags and tape didn't work but on our visit to WA my Mom came up with the idea to use a dishwashing glove. Genius. With some waterproof tape at the top she was good to go. That cast got really, really stinky :) but she still got to join in all the activities!
