Sometimes being a parent to Miles means pure happiness and other times aching heartbreak. Our highlight this week was when Miles rediscovered vegetables. One night at dinner he actually ate over 1 cup of plain, cooked broccoli. Tonight, he gobbled up green beans. After what seems like months and months of his little mouth clamping shut every time something green went near it the vegetable stand-off is over.
Our low light happened this morning. Mike and Miles were playing downstairs when Miles fell off the bottom step. As a very active, little running toddler, bumps and bruises are the norm these days however after about 30 minutes we noticed Miles falling when trying to walk and realized he wasn't putting any weight on his right leg. Luckily our pediatrician's office had open clinic hours today so we were first in line at noon to have him examined. The doctor thinks he hurt his hip, which is common in toddlers, but that nothing was broken. We gave him ibuprofen this afternoon and he's been limping and crawling around the house. It seemed to get better as the day progressed but tonight he is having difficulty falling asleep. There is nothing worse then seeing your child hurt and in pain. It broke my heart to see Miles hobbling around the house. Through all of this though he still had giggles and lots of smiles (I wish I could muster a few more smiles through my stress). What will this next week bring?
Feel better Miles! Yikes, no fun for mom and dad either :(
