Caydin's Couch Dive! (not recommended for those under the age of ohhhh 10)

Oh no!
Poor Caydin took a dive off the couch yesterday evening! Rob and I were at the movies and Grandma was here watching Caydin. I think his fall freaked her out more than it did Caydin! Luckily, Rob and I were on the way to the grocery store after the movies when she called so we went right home, loaded him up, and headed to the emergency room. The place was PACKED (apparently EVERYONE goes to the ER on a Monday night!) and they estimated the wait for 2-3 hours - scary! So we called around and eventually left to go to an urgent care clinic. We still had to wait a LONG time but the place was designed for kids so Caydin got to watch a kiddie movie on TV -- over and over again...
Caydin didn't want to move his left arm so we knew something was going on with his shoulder/collarbone area. We got xrays done and sure enough, he has a fracture on his collarbone. He gets to wear this super cute blue sling. Caydin slept great and doesn't play with the sling at all. I think it is his "security blanket" as it reminds him not to move his arm too much! He does move it every once in a while but usually this happens: {thats a crying face if you can't tell}
But most of the time, he is still smiling and laughing! He even got to take a good ol' trip to Target tonight (in his 2 day old tee-shirt - who does that?!?!)
We were pretty sure before his fall that he is going to be left handed - but boy oh boy, he sure does know how to use that right hand to point out what he wants!Although spending 4 hours at the hospital/urgent care was no fun and the fractured collarbone makes doing things alittle bit more difficult, Caydin is enjoying getting to hang out in his PJ bottoms all day and loves that everyone is cuddling and reading to him LOTS and LOTS and LOTS (not that we don't do that anyways!)
....Just for picture proof... The mean ol' couch that Caydin fell off of and his oh-so-nice looking Grammy who was home when he fell! He still loves his Grammy (and the couch, I suppose)!
