Broken Baby Bones

We've been training for the dirty dash (comming up in just a couple weeks- eep!)  So we've been going running as a family every chance we get.  About a week ago, we had a running/ stroller accident.  While running up 100 E, we tripped on a big break in the sidewalk and the stroller flew forward, Jack-side-down.  His poor little foot got caught, and he broke three bones in the top of his foot. 
 Coming out of the Instacare.  He was not a happy camper.
 You can't even tell how swollen his foot was because Jack's feet are so chubby!
 This is our make shift splint, until we could get in to see the orthopedic specialist.  He's wearing Carter's flipflop, with two ace bandages wrapped on the outside to hold it on, then all covered up with a big sock, so Jack couldn't pull it off. 
 We tried to tell him his foot was broken, but he didn't care!  Still jumping off couches and shooting hoops!
 He's posing for a picture at the doctor's office with his finger in the electrical socket.  Typical Jack.  It's amazing this is his first trip to the instacare!
 Reading his new Cat in the Hat book with Daddy while we wait for Dr. Matthews. 
(Sidenote: He is obsessed with anything Dr. Seuss right now!)
 Giving his toes a kiss to make them feel better.
 Bradley was the MA who put his cast on, and we LOVE him!  He was so great with Jack, and even let him watch Cars on his iphone during the whole thing.  I was expecting it to be a lot harder, becuase Lori and I practically had to sit on him to get the x-ray. 
All done with a {water-proof!} blue cast and a sucker.  Only 3 weeks and everything should be healed up and back to normal!

**Also, we are the proud new owners of a double jogging stroller.  This is NOT going to happen again!
