He picked orange. Orange is a good color. It's bright, cheery, and eye-catching. And when you are three years old, you want your cast to be eye-catching. The Doctor at Orthopaedics determined that Joshua did have a buckle fracture in his thumb. You know how your thumb has three little bones? It's that middle one, near the lower joint, that has the fracture. Josh has been such a good sport, and for having a broken bone, he hasn't complained much at all! He answered the Doctor's questions very plainly, telling him where it hurt and what happened. He's pretty excited to show his Dad his cast and I'm sure he'll be the most popular kid at preschool tomorrow, for at least the first 1/2 hour. On our way home from the Doctor's this afternoon, Josh and I stopped for ice cream. It was a little "cast party" treat.

His Uncle Dave didn't get to pick which color when he was three (or almost anyway) and broke his elbow. They were handing out white plaster casts back then. No fancy orange or lime green.
Spiffy!
I love the orange cast! Can't wait to see it in person on Thursday. Tell Josh I will have some cookies waiting for him!
I love the orange too! Tell him I hope it feels better. Ice cream sounds like the perfect treat for a little boy with a broken thumb. :9
Orange is a perfect color. When Myk brok his arm he chose green.
