Anna's Fashion Statement of the Week

Or....How we like to kick off the summer at our house....OR...how to accentuate your cast!

Now wait! I'm not ready for my photo shoot yet hand me that...



Sticker!!!!


One must balance the splint with a sticker on the opposite knee, don't you know.


There. now I'm ready :)




It's important when switching from a neutral colored splint, to choose your favorite color since you'll be living with that for the next 10 days.




Make sure it's a color that you have plenty of in your wardrobe. Obviously, pink was a good choice for me! But don't overdo the pink. Make sure you find other colors to offset it.




Things to do when you have a cast...

Play Leapster while crawling up onto the ottoman (that mommy usually says to get off of!)



(note the purple glasses. I thought they were a nice touch!)



Pretend you're standing up on your walking cast since Mommy keeps hounding you to walk on it. (What is she anyway- can't she see my ankle's broken? How could I possibly walk on it?!?!?)




Sit too close to the TV watching Cinderella because now is the perfect time to bend the rules and play the sympathy card...



"Well HI Mommy! What do you mean sit on the couch instead of right next to the TV?"


"But don't you know my 'feet hurts'?"


Oh alright...I'll watch from the couch.


The other thing you can do is play on daddy's laptop (which you're not supposed to but once again, if you can't get away with things when you have a broken ankle, when can ya?)



I've seen them push this button before to get it started...


Nothing's happening!



Maybe this one- oops! "Hi again Mommy!!!"


Oh man...Mommy's spoil all the fun.

Bless her little heart.

She is just gorgeous. I do so love the color coordination and the offsetting with the purple shades :-)
What a glamourpuss!

Very Cute! I hope her ankle heals well.

Hope her ankle is getting better. I hate to see when little ones are in a cast. It makes me want to take that pain away from them and give it to me.

Thanks everyone! Anna is still refusing to walk on her walking cast so I will be calling the orthopedist today :( Hopefully it won't mean more time spent in a cast.

She is doing pretty well crawling and scooting around in the cast though. I will say I've been able to get a little more housework done because she isn't getting into things as much these days. Luckily, she is excited to have so much TV time (unfortunately, that will be a tough habit to break once her ankle's better!
