I took Clemmie to her pedi today to check on her nursemaid's elbow. Everything feels and looks okay. But the doctor did suggest to put off all activities eg: trapeze or monkey bars on hold until she is six years old.
Once injured, it is easy to injure again in the same manner.
Now I am afraid to hold her by the hands. I do have a teddy bear leash, but it is way too tight on her.
And if I don't hold her hands when she is out on the sidewalk, she runs straight out on the street. Which happened today so I may just as well carry her. I did explained to her if she does what she did at the zoo again she will hurt her arm again.
Every split of a second becomes dangerous if she couldn't help to control those impulses of being fearless.
A surprise for me.
She did really well waiting in the doctor's room today. We waited in the room for 30 minutes. And we did some rearrangement of the chairs since she was fidgety. But other than that I am happy that she didn't throw a tantrum.
After the doctor, I took Clemmie back to class and she usually throws a dismay and will be so attached to my waist and wouldn't let go. Now for the first time we walked into her group and she actually sat down without me asking her to do so and she did not respond "no, I don't want to."
A happy camper!
