It's been a while...

We've been living life and I haven't had a chance to write recently.

So, last Thursday evening Joe fell out of his cot and broke his right arm. We heard the thud and went running up. He cried for a little while, not long and soon settled back down and went to sleep. He whimpered occassionally through the night, but the next morning it was plain to see that his arm was causing him pain, so off we went to A&E. Joe apparently has a very high pain threshold and barely winced when the doctor found where he'd hurt his wrist. 3 x-rays later it was discovered that Joe has a buckle fracture. They gave him a strong painkiller which totally knocked him out and they then put a cast on his arm. He woke up just as they finished and was very cross to find this big white thing on his arm...

Today we had to go back to the fracture clinic to have the proper cast put on. The clinic was already running an hour behind when we got there at 9.30. The rather cross receptionist told us this was because two doctors had failed to arrive. Oops! Anyway, Joe and I went for a little walk around the shop and bought some little cars to keep him occupied during our wait.

So he now has a new, blue cast which is really hard! It certainly hurts if he clonks you with it! The good news is that he only has to have it on for another two weeks.

So, in other news, we had the boys' third birthday party on Sunday. It was great. We held it at Gymboree and 17 of their little friends came along to help them celebrate. Joe managed everything, despite his broken arm. Cakes came out well and I really enjoyed all the baking I did!

The turtle cakes were made of cupcakes so there was no need to bring a knife to cut the cake! Tasted good too!

They are coming out with some funny words and phrases these days...

Helicopters are known as helipocters

David was tidying up his cars earlier on when he just came out with "I give up!" I wonder who he gets that from then? Me perhaps?

So there are just two more sleeps until the boys' third birthday. Where has the time gone? They are definitely little boys now. My babies are gone. If I close my eyes I can still remember those precious, precious newborn cuddles. Don't grow up too quickly my babies. x
