Today Max showed signs he was feeling a bit better by wiggling more, Jerry said he reminded him of a turtle stuck on its back. He also started showing signs of irritation at being "stuck" in his cast. This just breaks my heart. We tried to make him happy and took him on a wagon ride where he got a Popsicle from his friend Zack. And then we propped him on pillows on his stomach on the floor where he proceeded to cause me a small heart attack when he tried to army crawl across the floor. He is such an active kiddo that this restraint is driving him nuts. On a personal note, I was super lucky to get a bike ride in while he was napping which was awesome! I hadn't really had any time to myself since we've been home from the lake and the fresh air and exercise was like natures medicine to me.
This evening we took our first drive anywhere and went to Costco for a short trip. We used the wagon but Max wasn't too happy at having to lay there... I held him for a bit, but that's difficult because of the weight and awkwardness of his cast. However, once we let him hold his vitamins he was happy.
We ended our night with a kitchen sink hair wash and washcloth bath. I'm hoping that helped relax him a little. He loves the water so much and I know that he is going to miss swimming and bath time. He's so cute when we watch swimming in the Olympics he says, "swim" over and over. He's asleep now (tonight he's in his big boy bed vs the bean bag, it's too small to hold in his wiggles) and we are up late watching the Olympics again. Although I am hopeful that he has a more peaceful sleep tonight, I'm realistic that more than likely he will be up soon (and probably in bed with us like the last few mornings) so good-night for now and thanks again many times over for the support.
