life with pinky!

well, this cast thing has been interesting.
picture below is mallory ready to go to the park. poor girl, i make her wear pants and i triple wrap her cast with a sock (we have found that my socks fit PERFECTLY over the whole thing), a ziploc baggy and then tape. i know, i'm crazy, but i am worried about sand and wood chips getting in it!! that would just be gross. her little toes already stink and it would just be gross if there was sand in there!! yuck!
sand and wood chip PROOF!!
this kid gets DIRTY. i have never noticed the bath water being "dirty" or "brown", maybe it is because there is so much of it when you are in the tub. but now since mallory has her bath in the sink, i have realized how dirty she is. the water actually turns a gray/brown color. thank goodness she is still so little and fits in the sink or i don't know what i would do! she did not like these baths it first, but now she is getting use to them. she is such a good girl.


mallory really is being a champ. she doesn't seem to bugged by the cast anymore and has begun to walk with it now. she still bangs everything with it, especially shopping carts. in the morning though, when she first gets up, while i am changing her diaper she will look at me and grab her cast. she seems to still be asking "please mom, can you take this thing off!"
only 3 weeks left!!
