As you can see by the above picture, wee one is dealing with her pain to the best of her ability....and yes, that is a piece of peanut butter cup pie she is enjoying! I called the doctor this morning, as her knee was still swollen. They had just gotten a cancellation so we got up and dressed and out the door in record time. They took an x-ray and said that her knee wasn't broken, but she does have a sprain. I have to ice it for the rest of the day and she can't have gym class for a week. Wee one was a bit disappointed....she begged me to ask for crutches. She said that she wanted to "experience" what it would be like to have crutches. I think she wanted to "experience" sympathy and special treatment from her teachers and classmates! LOL....
After the doctor we had to run a few errands....return movies, buy thread, stop at the bank, and go to John's office. On the way home she said she had a taste for a hamburger and I said I had a taste for pancakes. I told her I would take her to McDonalds....but I had to turn around and go in the other direction. Then I casually said that I would have taken her to a nice sit-down restaurant that she likes (and who serves pancakes!), and she got all excited. "Do you mean it?" she said, "Like a girls day out?"....now who could resist that? So, off we went. She got spaghetti and a cup of cream of broccoli soup (her favorite) and I got my pancakes and coffee. Afterward I let her pick out a piece of pie to take home. So, now she is sitting comfortably on the couch with her leg elevated and iced, eating pie and watching cartoons. I think she will be just fine....
Oh, I forgot to mention that last night, whilst sitting on the couch in my bedroom she very quietly said to me, "Mom, what if someone finds out I'm only 10 and fell of the electric scooter? The box says 12 and up. Could we get sued?" Now, that was an "awwwww" moment if there ever was one. She said this in a hushed voice, looking not at me but the tv the entire time. She was so serious! I told her that we were fine. That 12 was a "suggested"age and no one was going to come after us. She just shook her head and continued watching tv. Poor kid was worrying about that more than her knee!
I'm off to pick up the house, then sit with my little darling....

I hope she gets to feeling better soon! Too cute!*~*Emily
She is just the cutest little thing. I'm so glad it's not broken. And cruches aren't paid for by insurance companies ya gotta buy them. So If she has 15 to thirty bucks in her piggy bank she could buy her own at walgreens. LOL But after about two seconds she would find out how much they hurt and how annoying they are to use.
I hope she never finds out how uncomfortable crutches are. Used them many times and never want to use them again. Glad that she's going to be ok. What fun, a girls day out. hehehe Hugs Lanny
I am so glad to hear that it wasn't worse then it was!! Can't blame her for trying for the crutches tho...the sympathy from the teacher and the kids...she knows how it works!! LOL.
That was so cute that she was so excited for girls day out!!
I hope she feels better soon!!
*hugs*
What a sweetie! I adore reading your journal because of how lovely your family seems. I hope her knee gets better and get her another piece of pie for me!

Awwww! Poor Wee One. I bet a little TLC will make her all better. Take good care of her.
The day with wee-one sounds nice. It's great to have one on one time with them. I hope her knee heals up quickly. Glad to be back and reading your journal again :)~Melissa
Oh that wee one, always worrying about something. When she was here she got in her grandada's electric wheel chair, put the ice bag on her knee and practically did wheelies up and down the driveway lol She asked if she could take it to school!! I said NO She said she thought she would get lots of sympathy!! She is such a character. Mom
Your wee one just stole my heart. Anyone who loves cream of broccoli soup is ACES with me!! :-) I absolutely LOVE it. What a sweet, loving mommy you are! A girls' day out. :-)
It's amazing the things that go on in their heads, and how much they worry. My son does the same thing (he'll be 12 in May). He'll let things simmer in his head, and then they will come out when I least expect it. I do my best to reassure, but he is convinced that His answer is the correct one, of course.
Keeping your cutie pie in my prayers for a quick and painless recovery!!
Love, Anna
You are such a good mommy!! I am amazed at all the details! You remembered everything the doctor said and even the part about no gym. I would have been a nervous wreck and reading everything twice and forgetting all the stuff I am supposed to do. Plus you had girls time! I think your little girl is going to be just fine as a result of such a caring mom!! Hugs,
Lisa

Great mommy she is cute
Aww...how sweet that she was concerned about you all getting trouble for her being too young for the scooter. She is such a sweetheart. And, I have to agree with the rest of the J-Land community that you are a wonderful mother. I have told countless people that as I mature into motherhood I want to be like you. I really do.

Sorry to hear about your darling! and how precious is she for asking such an adult question about the situation! I am glad to be catching up with you, and congrats on the new mower! Great toy to get dh out of your hair some days. New mowers are good for about a year of that right?! hehehe. Cya, Kris
Hope she gets better soon!
