What Cast?

It is amazing how well Savannah has adapted to her cast. Now you have to keep a pretty close eye on her as she is attempting to move around, almost like she doesn't even have  a cast on! She figured out how to scoot around on her butt to move around the apartment and play with toys. She is also sleeping better now that she has figured out that she can indeed roll over to lay on her side or belly. She gets mad when you stop her from doing something, like today when she attempted to use the kitchen chairs to pull herself to a standing position (her cast is not made for standing/walking). She continues to sleep in our bed, which will be a habit we have to break when her leg is better. We can't put her back in a crib, as she will use the rails to stand up and we can't put her in her toddler bed because she will attempt to get out. For some reason in our bed, she stays put! It is baffling how small a king size bed gets when a toddler sleeps in the middle of it...and why do they insist on sleeping the "wrong" way in the bed? :) The only thing she doesn't enjoy is bath time (which normally she loves). We have her leg taped and bagged to keep the water out and have tried multiple tricks to help make it more enjoyable for everyone...the winner so far is letting her give her toy Minnie Mouse characters a bath while we give her one! Hopefully, when we see the doctor next week he will have good news for us regarding how much longer she has in the cast.
