We made a visit to the Urgent Care on Saturday night because earlier in the day Jackson fell on his foot while playing basketball with Matt. We didn't think much of it at first because he fell asleep right after, but when he woke up he couldn't walk. In fact, he refused to even put his foot on the ground and he cried every time we tried to get him to walk.
After an X-Ray the doctor determined that there were no broken bones and that everything looked normal, but Jackson still refused to even put his foot on the ground. The doctor said that there is so much cartilage in his foot that maybe he had bruised it. 
At any rate, the kid still cries anytime his foot touches the floor and has had to revert to crawling. It has been nice having Matt home during all of this because he has been carrying him everywhere. I am sooo looking forward to carrying Jackson everywhere tomorrow since Matt will be at work! 
Matt and Jack stayed home from church today and in order to entertain the poor kid who had gotten sick of sitting on the bed watching movies, Matt made him a "little house" as he calls it! 
Jackson sure knows how to milk his injury! Daddy even went out and bought him a new movie and has pretty much given in to anything and everything he wants!! I am afraid at this point his foot will never "heal"!!!

Hey Ericka! You have such a cute blog, and Jackson is so big now! Congratulations on the baby boy who's almost here - you guys all look great!
Matt's such a sucker!!! It figures that Jackson would know how to work him! How do kids figure out how to manipulate situations?!?! They are so clever! Hope his foot starts to feel better! Get well soon!
Hope his foot feels better soon. Matt's probably just in a vulnerable state right now, with the Lakers losing, the Dodgers are under .500, and Rampage Jackson just lost the UFC title...poor guy, it's been a tough month. Of course, I can't talk the Yankees are in 3rd behind Tampa - how did that happen?! Wow, this comment is really long, I wonder how much longer I can go. Did you ever see that Seinfeld where Krammer and the car salesman drive the car until the fuel needle is past the "E?" That's how I'm feeling right now. My OCD is not letting me just cut this off, I must see how long my comment ca
Poor little guy! I'm glad he didn't brake anything. I love the tent! Kids really do know how to milk things for all that they are worth.
I hope Jackson is feeling better- poor thing. I hate to admit it but I would be a sucker just like Matt!
