Today on the Tree was very very sad - although Mommy didn't let on until after bathtime just how sad she was.
You see at 5:30 AM Matteo awoke upset because he could not find what he fell asleep with. So I asked Daddy to find it and then to lay with Matteo. However in laying with Matteo he pulled the covers and if you've ever slept with matteo (only cousin Jesse has) - you know he tangles himself in the blanket. Well Daddy needed some covers and pulled the blanket and Matteo started to cry. Not thinking much of it I hushed him and we all went back to sleep. However when he awoke 90 minutes later Matteo could not walk. And all day today Matteo - kid you not - could not walk. He had to be carried from one sitting position to another. When I prompted him to walk he could only take 2 steps and then would cry out in pain. ** heartbreaking**. Matteo can weigh-bare on it which is a good sign - so Daddy thinks it is just sprained. However Mommy is so sad for my little Matteo - I even rented him a movie from the library which is so out of his ordinary and thus a treat.
Finally at bathtime from watching him immobile all day I started to cry and he was so great to - telling me not to cry and then proceeding to limp terribly to get me a tissue. What a trooper.
I hope tomorrow is a better day for Matteo - though to be honest I doubt it as this is not something I foresee going away overnight.
Matteo did fall asleep holding the green caterpillar JJ gave him - a favorite stuffed animal for him all week. JJ must know we love green on the Tree. Matteo also told Jules that it's okay if he slept with him, but to please not pull the covers again :-(
