Oliver and Emily Jozwiak: What a week!

Poor Oliver has been through the mill this week (as has his mum!!). On Tuesday morning we popped out to the shops and as we were heading home when Oliver got his hand trapped in the hinge of one of the car doors. He had a really nasty gash on his middle finger so I took him off to urgent care to get checked out. Thank goodness Grandma Sandy came with me as I was a wreck!! He had an x-ray which showed a possible fracture but they couldn't be sure so his hand was bandaged up tightly and we went back to our own doctor on Thursday. The finger was healing quite well but looked a bit swollen so at the moment he has a splint on it and we are heading back for another x-ray on Tuesday. Oliver has been so brave through all of this (much more so than me!) but he gets pretty upset when we try and dress him. We are hoping that he gets the all clear on Tuesday and he doesn't have to wear any more bandages on it.

To top it all off he's had a bit of a cold for the past couple of days and now I have it too so we are feeling very sorry for ourselves this morning. It doesn't help that autumn has hit with a vengeance and it suddenly got pretty cold.

We have had some good days though - some fun play dates with our friends and a visit to Grandma and Grandpa's last weekend. Grandpa cut some wood blocks to put on the pedals of Oliver's trike so he could reach them more easily. Now we have to practice using them! We have also been to the orchard for a visit and Oliver got to have a ride on the tractor and trailer. I had to practically drag him on there but I think he enjoyed it :)

We have also enrolled Oliver in daycare and he starts on October 19th. He will be going for 2.5hrs every Monday and Tuesday morning so not a very long time but a nice gentle start. Hopefully he will make some new friends and enjoy doing something different than hanging out with his mum!!
