This weekend started off with a real bang! Matt and I were leaving school Friday afternoon when we got a call from Jayden's school (this has yet to happen for good news, haha). The secretary told us that Jayden had fallen off of the rock wall during recess and broke his arm. This happened with less than a half hour of school left. After a couple of hours at Zeeland Community Hospital's ER, it was confirmed that Jayden indeed broke both his radius and ulna of his right arm....his "good arm," according to him. The good part is he was lucky in a sense because neither of the bones were very displaced, which meant he did not need to have them re-set. He was placed in a splint, with a sling for the weekend. I honestly did not know that a 5 year old could be that brave! We are extremely proud of him!!
After a weekend of sling and splint wearing, Jayden got his cast today. He was actually excited to get a cast, and even more excited to find out that he would get to pick out its color. He chose a black cast, and informed us that no one will be writing on it. He also said he would like to continue wearing it until he is "big like Matty." Something tells us he might change his mind about that one :) Unfortunately, his soccer season that starts this Saturday is already over, but there's always the spring session. We are hoping that the 2nd week of Kindergarten is a little less eventful!
