Cadi sets a world record for swing jumping but breaks elbow in attempt!

Today Cadi set a new record for swing jumping but on her attempt she may have broken her elbow. Pam took her to the emergency room but they could not tell if there was a fracture because of the swelling. So tomorrow or Friday, she'll see an orthopedic Dr. for further assessment.

Cadi barely cried at all and was very brave at the Drs. office and went into the x-ray room all by herself.

When I talked with her while she was at the Drs. office, she did say, "The cool thing is that if I get a cast, people can write on it." Aaaaaaah, the silver lining as seen by a 7 yr. old.

The twins are splitting up

Cadi declared that she wants her own room. For the past 7 years [she's 7] she has shared a room with her twin brother, Sam. However, today she told me that she is ready to move on and take her own room. I anticipated some reservation on her making this declaration because the bedroom she is to move into is in the basement. You know, the dark, scary, full of monsters basement that exists in every house occupied by a 7 year old. But true to form, she dismissed the thought when I brought it up and told me she'll be ready to move once 1st grade lets out in June.

So I'm now in negotiation with her on what color I'll be painting her room.

I asked her twin Sam how he felt about Cadi moving down to the basement so which he replied, "so what, get her out of here." Where's the love? Sam has also already told me he wants his room repainted red, orange, and black. However he does want to keep the giraffe painted on his wall.
