More Andy

I keep trying to take a good picture of Andrew with his arm in a sling, but it's rather difficult. For one thing, he doesn't stay still for long. Add to that the fact that he doesn't always seem to be wearing pants, and my acceptable photograph window narrows even further.

The biggest problem I have been having with Andy these days, aside from battling over milk consumption, is his sling.

Andrew's arm is tiny, because it is three years old. Putting it in a sling is kind of like putting curtains up in a dollhouse. You need small and nimble fingers. And Andrew does his best, all day long, to pretend he isn't wearing a sling. The first few days he wore it I kept finding him using both hands, the sling pushed back behind his elbow.

So I have been pinning the sling to his shirt.

This keeps his arm in place much more effectively than the sling alone. It isn't perfect, though. It only takes a few seconds for his shirt to creep around. The buttons on his button downs are suddenly going down his right side. But it's better than nothing, right?

I love the comparison of keeping his arm in a sling to putting up curtains in a doll house. Lots of love to you both.

You are becoming quite the VJ -- operating the camera AND conducting the interview!!! And Andy doesn't seem too worse for wear. His attitude seems sunny as ever!
