Champion

Noah is a tough little guy. He had a good day today. He is learning to eat and to throw a ball with his left hand. His cast has slowed him down a bit, but he still insists on doing everything himself. He couldn't go swimming with us, though. My parents watched him this afternoon while the rest of us went to the pool for an hour. When the lifeguards found out he broke his arm, they made him a card. So sweet! They also sent home a winner's medal for him to wear around his neck. He really has dealt with this injury like a champ so far.

Poor little guy! Hoping he will have a quick recovery:) I hope he has been able to sleep ok. Also, learning to do everything left handed sounds difficult. Hope you are all hanging in there:)

Hey, it was a broken arm that made Jim Braddock a heavyweight world champion boxer. I see big things in Noah's future.

He is such a cute little guy. I remember how Sam was determined to be still independent with his broken arm. He also had to use his non-dominant hand for everything, consequently he is a "switch-hitter in baseball" and throws well with either. Everything else he has gone back to mainly being left-handed. Summer is a hard time to be in a cast! But, the younger you are the quicker you heal. They are so resilient! Give him our love!
