Hayden is a monkey

Hayden had been told earlier in the day to stop hanging from the bars on my poster bed. He had shown me that he could now get up and hang by his knees upside down with no hands. When he came off that time he landed on his head on the bed and I thought he was going to break his neck. I warned him then. He decided not to listen and he was climbing back up again with a sword in his right hand when he fell and went clear to the floor--trying to stop himself with his right arm. When Katie came in screaming that Hayden hurt his arm, I had little sympathy until he held up his arm and there was a definite sag in it. I told Whitney she needed to drive us to the hospital and they had to put him to sleep for a little while in order to fix the arm. He is in a soft cast right now, but he will go next week and get a real cast. He wants to go to school this morning even though that makes me nervous. I guess we will try it and see how it goes. He is a monkey--funny thing, he hated gymnastics--the stretching irritated him.
