Here it is June 18th and so far Summer Break isn’t going so well.
My youngest son (now 8 yr. old) decided to jump off the swing with his neighbor buddy and broke his right arm. It’s a good thing I didn’t see it because it would have been etched in my mind forever. I shudder to think of it. Apparently they were trying to jump over bicycles even.
Needless to say, that just spoils any chances of us all going to the pool this summer. That is, if it ever warms up enough to want to. My poor little guy is doing so well with using his left hand that I’m beginning to think he may be ambidextrous.
I hope you’re all having a great summer!
Cheers,
Bonnie

Hey Bonnie, How awfull about your son. I know how that feels (a mothers view point). I’ve gone thru. all of that with my children growing up and now my two grandsons. Boys are always worst than girls. When Mike (son) was around 12 he was at school on the football field with kids just wrestling and snapped his ankle. In a cast for about 6 weeks I think. A month later (after the cast was off) riding his mini bike his other ankle got broke. THAT was a bad summer. lol A couple years later one of the legs got broke again, because he thought he was superman and could hold off some friends wrestling. I’m afraid he has 2 sons that is following in his footsteps. One has broke his collar bone flipping off a dirt bike and the other broke an arm flipping off a skate board. Oh the pains of motherhood….lol Norma
Thank you Norma. I’ve heard that breaking a collar bone is very painful and I can remember growing up, every summer one of the neighbor boys having a cast from the dirt bikes. Usually the leg.
I hope they all stay safe this summer!
Bonnie
Ouch!
I hope that your little guy is all healed up and that your family was able to find ways to enjoy your summer. May you have a wondrous Labor Day weekend.
