....someone breaks their tibia. Isn't she pitiful! We were having a great time at Ben and Sophie's B-day party and the 3 big kids were riding tricycles just before we were going to leave and then, poor Madeline. John was pushing her on the tricycle (which she can't pedal yet) and she tried to pedal. Well, they were going fast and her little foot got caught in the pedal and turned her foot about 180 degrees. Oddly enough, she wasn't screaming or crying really hard, just normal crying. When she couldn't put any weight on it we decided it was probably sprained but should get it checked out. The urgent care clinic in Sterling Ridge was AWESOME! They were really nice and got us in quick. So now she's in a firm splint and will need to get a hard walking cast next week.
So, to sum up, our 2 year old has a broken leg, John has horrible guilt (it was a complete accident. Lots of people have pushed their kids like this and never had a problem!), and we'll be holding off on getting that tricycle for Christmas. It's going to be hard to keep her off her feet until she gets her hard cast on but thank goodness for Tylenol w/codiene!

Poor baby! The only upside is that little ones heal so fast. Ben broke his arm when he was 2 and was back to normal in a matter of days. Hope Madeline recovers as quickly!
How sad! I'm so sorry...what a bummer way to end a fun birthday party day :( I hope Madeline gets better soon!
Oh no, poor little girl! :(
Oh my goodness. You've definitely got your hands full. Let me know if you need anything.
Oh, that is no good! :( I hope everyone feels better soon.
Bennett missed Madelilne at school today. We hope she is feeling much better soon.
Tell John not to feel guilty-all parents do it! Josh was trying to get Stella to go with him and she pulled the other way and pulled her elbow out of joint. He felt so terrible. Hope Madeline is feeling better!
