Saturday

How do you go from this...

to this...(enjoying his first taste of hot chocolate)
to this in one day? (Caden is showing off his ER ankle bracelet and wearing a sticker that says, "I got an X-Ray" with a picture of a "stocking" a.k.a cast)

Surprisingly the first 2 have nothing to do with the ER trip. At lunch on Saturday Caden decided to turn his plastic spoon and bite on it. It then of course broke and he swallowed a little piece of plastic. It was a very small piece, but it was triangular in shape with a sharp point. I of course got scared, called a nurse, and then she suggested going to the ER. So we packed him up with a bag of toys and off Caden and Daddy went for the afternoon. I hated not going along, but we figured it would be best for me to stay at home with Abigail. As they left Caden reassured me with, "I'm going to spit it out when I get there, Mom!" They did take an x-ray, but it was too small to see. They sent him home with the directions to increase fluids, and that was all. When he came home he said, "The Doctors fixed me, Mom!" so I guess all is well! I have a feeling though this won't be the last trip to the ER with this child.

Side note - All his little Disney characters got x-rays and stickers today because they all had a piece of a plastic spoon in their mouths too.
