The countdown is on!!!
Only ten more days to go!
The reasons I am excited to have his cast removed:
No more three trips to the car every time we go places (1 for Dash, 1 for Scout, 1 for Navy/stuff/locking up etc.)
Scout will be happy to be able to do things.
No more spoon feeding.
Everyone can sit up to the table together without any outcasts.
Scout gets to go back to preschool.
He can FINALLY cut off his mullet!

Reasons I am not excited:
I love my constant game-playing, lego-building time with Scout.
Scout and Navy are getting along really well, and I hope it stays that way.
I’m sad to tell Navy that her preschool days are over.
I’ll miss seeing the scooting. It really is an impressive sight whether at the Dollar Store with Bella, or in a scooting race.
Most of all – I’m sad to say that he still has a way to go to get back to where he was before his injury.

I’ll admit that I would have never wished this would have happened. But there is something to be said about being with your boy almost 24/7. When will a mom ever get to do this unless it is a situation like this where it is forced. I have learned a great lesson. I love to be with my kids, and if I am missing out because I am taking part in trivial things, I’m an idiot. Time goes WAY too fast to let moments go by. I can’t stand when I go even an afternoon without one of them. I wish I could freeze frame my kids. And if I already feel like that, I can’t imagine how I will feel when they go to Kindergarten. And college — take a gun and shoot me.
Scout looks like he is skin and bones now days. This is a picture of him laying on his back. The cast has just gotten bigger and bigger on him as the weeks have gone by. And with the help of him and me removing all of his padding for various reasons, it has just gotten bigger. He is so excited, because now he can literally put his hand all the way through the front of his cast to the bottom of the chest plate.
