The morning included Kindermusik class for Emmalyn and soccer class for Maxwell. After resting, we headed out for a classmate's birthday party for Maxwell. They held the party at a gymnastic gym. I've never been to one so I had a little (don't tell anyone) fun walking on the bouncy floor and jumping for a quick second on the trampoline. I wish I had been less reserved and tried more of the stuff but you know, it was about the kids having fun... not me. :)
All ready for a water gun fight. Maxwell had a great time shooting other people but ran over to me and didn't want to do it anymore when people started shooting at him.
The gym had lots of different areas and Maxwell had fun trying many of them out.
Looking tentatively at the foam pit. He eventually built up the courage to jump in from standing at the edge.
I don't have any pictures of Emmalyn but she had a lot of fun at the party too. I would softly drop her off the edge into the foam pit and she loved it and wanted it over and over again.
Video - Maxwell saw other kids doing the big jump and it took some prodding but he finally jumped! He had fun and did it a few more times.
All the kids lined up and listening to instructions.
"Snowball" (foam block) fight between the kids and the adults.
After the birthday party we went to Kohl's to do a little shopping. When we were walking around, Maxwell mentioned his leg hurt. I didn't think much about it and figured it was nothing.
We then went to a Texas Legends Basketball game (it's an NBA development league.) When we were walking into the game, Maxwell's leg was hurting so much he couldn't even walk on it and was in tears. We still went to the game but I was really worried about his leg. I was worried that he had somehow done some serious damage to his leg when he was at the gymnastics gym.
At the game - Emmalyn had a TON of fun
Like a princess in her pretty coat.
Maxwell's leg still hurt when we left the game and my worries intensified. Was he seriously injured? Would I need to take him to an ER/Urgent care?
We decided to let him go to sleep and then see how his leg was in the morning.
The next morning, he got up out of bed and was walking to the kitchen and everything was fine (I of course was watching very closely) and I was so relieved! But then, by the time he got to the living room, he was crying in pain again and my heart dropped. :( There was no swelling or bruising but he was certainly hurting.
We set Maxwell up on the couch, wrapped his knee, iced, and elevated it. It was hard for Maxwell to just hang out but we tried to find TV shows to keep him entertained.
Because of Max's leg we were stuck at home all day.
Emmalyn asked to take a nap with Max. So she crawled into bed with him...that lasted for about 1 minute and then she was done.
So we kept Maxwell off his leg all day and by the end of the it seemed to be doing better. I was still watching closely... So, no trip to the doctor for now. We will continue to watch it.
The next day, Maxwell went to school but I told him he could take it easy.
He must have played at least a little bit because when Brittany picked him up from school, he fell asleep with the other boys on the way back to her house
