We stopped at Dunkin Donuts for a special first day of school breakfast. I got a Boston Cream donut and an apple juice - yummy! I ate it in the car and had a very chocolatey face by the time we got to school :)
We found my new cubby at school and met one of my new teachers (mom can't remember how to spell their names, though). Mom said she'd be back to pick me up if she could get me in to see the orthopedist.
I had a great day! I knew almost everyone in my class and am now in a class with some of the older kids from last year (there are only a few of us who are 4, but turning 5 before the end of the year - the rest are already 5). My favorite part of the day was making the time capsule. We'll open it on the 100th day of school! I wasn't very specific in talking to mom, but I told her I put my name in a bag. I guess we'll see!
Mom did come back to get me a little early. We saw Dr. Witte (the one who operated on her foot!) and he confirmed the break. He said that since I was able to sleep with the splint on, he wants to wait a week to put the cast on. Said this splint would allow for swelling and would be less painful for me if we wait. It should be a quick healing process with a cast for only 3 weeks. He said he'd give me a brace to wear for my birthday party so I could still bounce away. Huzzah! And I don't *have* to use the sling if I don't want to, so I was happy about that - it's a pain and didn't stay put easily. Not to mention it made it significantly more difficult to get in and out of my car seat!
We went to our favorite sushi restaurant for dinner to celebrate a good first day :) Then mom and I had to figure out a way to take a bath. We managed to get me clean and keep my arm dry, but it was hard for mom to bend over the tub with her belly in the way! My brother's growing too much! At least we've somewhat figured out how to get the bath done, though we may end up doing baths every other day until the cast comes off!
Hopefully I'll have more to report about school tomorrow!
