Birthday bumps

Yesterday started with the openi9ng of presents. She had great fun with the pan and brush,

and her new dolly, with knitted cloted (from Granny C).



We had morning coffee/tea/teast in the Clock tower and a dander around town. Then I went to work. In teh after noon was cake decoration.
By the time I got home, it had happened. Charoltte was beside herself and Julie was trying to console her. During one of her risky climbs up the kitchen chair to the table, all came tumbling down. She calmed down by bed time, and went to sleep fairly quickly.
Around 10pm she woke, and would not calm down. A quick call to the Dr on call, and we were off to A&E. Surprisingly it was quiet, we were the only ones in the waiting room. By that time Charlotte was having a ball. She played with the toys in the room, let the Dr examin her arm. Giggled while running up and down corridors. Was so perfect when it came to the X-ray, that she got a sticker. The plastering was a bit strange, but she bore through it. SHe had a fracturs on the lower part of her left arm. It looked like a kink in the x-ray. We went home and she went to sleep untill 8am.

All day she was grand. The party went well, presents opened, and as much food ate as she could manage. SHe wore herself out, and fell asleep before everyone left.

Time for tea.

It was a long party, and rest breaks helped.

Cake (home amde by Julie)

zzzzzzz

The two Ballys, AKA Granny Carol and granda Billy

Laura, Iris and Jen (who is hiding, and Charlotte still calls Lady, or 'No, Lady!' if she is bad)

Charlottes great grand father Victor (left), and Richard.

The only problem is teh plaster of paris, which cannot get wet. Hopefully she will be out of it on her apointment on teh 14th.

Aw! Poor Charlotte! Hope she heals quickly. Maybe time to fit her with a harness and crampons? Or stabilisers?

Anyway, Happy Birthday. Glad she had a cracking (he he) time.

Bet she can give you quite a whack with that arm now! That'll be Uncle John's genes showing themselves there.

Roger, that obviously dragged up a painful memory for you...I was 13, you were 6.

I can remember you getting into the bath wrapped in several bin bags. Have repressed memories of beatings from your plaster. You couldn't compete with the wooden spoon anyway.
