Today we went to see the Orthopaedist. Cooper didn't have to get a hard cast, just a better splint. The doctor said the breaks (yes, both bones) are pretty good as far as breaks go. He said he would leave the splint on 6 weeks but our doctor in Macon may have another opinion. That's about the time school starts. I guess it's good he'll be better by the time school starts but he'll also miss out on a lot of fun the rest of the summer.
Once we left the doctor, Cooper was in good spirits. Every time we pass the playground he says "that's where it all happened". We went to the beach in the afternoon. We had a gourmet dinner at Dairy Queen then went down to the pier. There's a lot going on here for the 4th. There was a band, a jumpy thing, lots of junk for sale, and about a million people. Cooper really wanted to get in the jumpy thing but I finally convinced him it would not be the best idea. He ended up making some friends on the playground and making me a nervous wreck playing freeze tag.
When we got home Cooper had to take a bath which is kind of a major ordeal. We played hair salon and shampooed his hair in the sink then propped his arm up on the side of the tub for the rest. Hopefully tonight will be better than last.
I haven't reported much on little Libby. How about the beach princess?

Cooper, that cast sure does go up your arm a long way. I knew you would be a trooper with your arm.. Your little sister sure is a beauty queen. Nanee and PawPaw love you both so much''''
