what we do for our kids

Well let's see my wonderfully graceful(not) daughter on wednesday ran across the kitchen floor slipped on water her sister dumped on the floor and fractured a growth plate in her foot. now she is to be resting on the couch with her foot up. but really how do you tell a 5yr old that they can't play when everyone else around them is and they are having a problem staying on the couch. i am at a lost for ideas she is not the type of child to just lay around she is active and has to be on the go at all times. I am just thankful that we have found a orthopedic to see her and hopefully do something to maybe make this a little easier on her. the only thing is we have to drive her to philly (yay me) . all i can say is this doc better be worth this drive.
