We were rough-housing on the bed when Mason landed badly-his foot was bent up underneath him. Even though it was on the bed, it looked bad and he cried for about ten minutes. He wouldn't put any weight on it and cried when he tried. We took him to a pediatric orthopedist who confirmed he has a buckle fracture of the left tibia. It's basically a nothing fracture, a crumple in the bone, non-displaced. He'll be in a cast for 3 1/2 weeks. It would have been shorter but we'll be in Ohio at the time. The upside is it's a waterproof walking cast. Mason hasn't walked on it yet due to pain, but as soon as he is we doubt it will be an inconvenience at all, and maybe a positive because he'll let us push him in the stroller more while sight-seeing in Ohio. Mason is doing fine, doesn't seem to be in pain, and slept allright except for getting up an hour earlier. He's watching TV in the photo, which he loves, but every now and then you can tell he's frustrated because he can't walk.
Other news: Erika gave Dizzy a buzz cut. She has so much black fur and it's so hot here, we were trying to do her a favor. She did great, but as you can see she was left a little patchy.
Erika found a company where you can make crafts for money, this is her first sample being submitted for approval. It's supposed to be some kind of CD case.

Oh no, poor Mason! Hope he is on his feet again soon!
When do you find time to do crafts, Erika? You are amazing!
