Now you've done it...

Yup...all it takes is an ounce of Daddy's DNA of a daredevil and it was bound to happen. We've had our first broken bone. Hannah broke her wrist trying to hold onto a piece of tape while sliding down the street light pole near our house. Hannah is in a splint until the radiologist can confirm the break (he happens to be out until Monday). Hannah fussed over little things for the first two days of the unconfirmed break, but is now finding ways to do all the things she loves with the brace. Although she does fuss about the wrist whenever it is something she doesn't enjoy. The brace is supposed to remain on for 4-6 weeks...we will see how it goes.
-----UPDATE----
We saw the orthopedic (Portuguese) doctor (with interpreter) who said Hannah has a green stick fracture and should be out of the brace at the beginning of May with no problems. Hannah has done outstandingly well with her brace, she is still writing and coloring, bike riding, etc... though she hasn't attempted the light pole recently (that we have been able to note:).
