catch up - Hawken getting his cast off

Hawken broke his leg in the end of November. He had his cast on for just over 3 weeks, and he got it off 2 days before we left Miami (just in time). Before he got it off, he had gotten really good at walking, running, dancing, climbing, even jumping in it. He is very impressive.

The only thing he didn't really care for was having a sponge-ish bath. We tried to make it seem as fun as we could, but that only really convinced Matix that it would be fun. There were a few days of all three kids (one by one) taking a bath in this baby tub.

Last picture in his cast. They wouldn't let me take pictures while they were taking it off, but it's just as well, he just sat there and watched. Not very exciting, or scary like I thought it might be for him.

Right after he got it off, the doctor explained that he would probably favor his used to be broken leg, and not want to put any weight on it for a while, even though it was okay if he did. Well, Hawken jumped down from the table, walked over to the stroller, climbed up into it, turned around and said, "Me leg tickles. We going home now?" First post cast picture.

We went over to "other Maddox" 's house to pick up our Matix (thank you thank you Sarah for watching Matix and making that time at the hospital SO much better). We stayed and played for a little while and Hawken was using his leg just the same as he always had, except he kept it turned outward like it was in the cast. Show off. Here are Matix, Maddox and Hawken.

That night the boys had a bath in the REAL tub and had so much fun. It was a luxury we had taken for granted. Who knew that baths were so special and such a fun time of the day? :)
