Birthdays and Broken Bones

What a great day. Today (Sept. 3rd) I turned eight years old and my mom took me out of school for lunch at McDonalds. Keri met us there and she always makes everything fun. We both got Big Kid Happy Meals and she gave me her toy. It was fun but I couldn't wait to get back to school. I love my class and my teacher is awesome.
I think Keri is beautiful. She is a great big sister because she takes me out for dates with her and sometimes she takes naps in my room. I'm glad she lives close to us.
This is my new bike. Isn't it amazing! Read more below and you'll see why I'm holding it so gently. Keri helped me open my presents because my wrists hurt too bad. I got a gift card to build a bear, a scripture bag with a coupon to pick out my own scriptures and a new watch.
The Republican Convention was on TV tonight and Mitt Romney was getting everyone fired up. I still think he would of made a great president.

EIGHT IS GREAT!

Everything was going so well on my birthday and then I went with my friend Jessica to the park after school to play with her little sister and I fell off the swing in grand style doing a 360 flip and landed on my wrists and my face. Ouch!

Mom gave me a bath thinking it would make me feel better but I couldn't even hold the soap so she decided to take me to Urgent Care to get xrayed. They found out they I had buckled my bones in both wrists but one was only sprained and the other had some hairline fractures in it.
It was interesting to watch the doctor put a temporary cast on my arm . They did this so if my fingers swelled my parents could take the cast off. But there is a very hard plaster piece that goes on both sides of my arm that was molded to me. I have to go back to the pediatric surgeon on Friday for another x-ray and we'll see what happens from there. I just want to get better quick so I can ride my new bike I got for my birthday!
I did go to school the next day, but only for one hour, because it was my teachers birthday and I wanted to tell him happy birthday. He sat me in front of the class so I could tell what happened "once" not 24 times. It was nice to have so much help doing things. With both my wrists not working well it was hard to do things like turn knobs and write. Mr. Larson told me to go ahead and stay home on Friday to get some extra rest so I slept in and when I woke up I watched some disney shows.
Then mom suggested me and Tara get a pedicure. I thought that sounded great so we called and got an appointment for the two of us. Mom just watched in a massage chair and had some R & R herself. I got lavender toenail polish and the lady put white pin dot flowers on the toes. On the big toe she put a small crystal in the middle of the flower. Then she put a clear coat over all my toes to protect them and it looked great. Not a bad day for a little girl playing hookie from school!
