If the question is:

DID ANNIE TAKE HER CAST OFF, NECESSITATING A RUSH TRIP TO THE ORTHOPEDIST?

the answer is:

YES.

Poor baby! I hope she's okay.

Babies: they're smarter than dogs!

She's excellente, thanks. Right now she's bouncing off her crib walls, too slaphappy to attempt the Big Girl Bed tonight.

I think she's pleased with the new cast (school crossing guard orange!) and is trying for another color on the other arm.

What the -- how did -- but it -- she can't -- they said --

MAN! SHE IS SUPERBABY!

SUPER BAD BABY!

I too hope she, and you, are okay.

[ninafarina]

I KNOW!

And little did they.

You should've seen her at that orthopedist's office, man. Completely swaggering around like she owns the place. I'm doing my best to keep Bad Baby in check, for example keeping her from stuffing all contents of the post-x-ray toy chest down her diaper, and the technicians are calling her back: "But oooh! She had more than one x-ray, she gets more than one toy! Right? She needs baby sunglasses to match her new cast! Annie! Annie! [giggle]"

What are they making casts out of these days, tissue paper and spit? Encase that bad arm in concrete and steel, let's see if she's using laser heat vision or mega-strength on her splints.

[ninafarina]

Concrete and steel straitjacket? Maybe?

It'll be great to see you guys in a few weeks! We'll be the ones with the apple-cheeked Hannibal!

(And I ate his liver with a nice Chianti...pfft pfft pfft pfft.)

Dude, I can't wait to meet the Super Baby!

When I had a cast on, I used to stuff buttons and coins into it, so when the finally took the cast off they were practically embedded into my skin. But I never tried to take it off, mang. Maybe they oughta strap her arm onto her torso or something. Although a straightjacket might do the trick.

In San Francisco, Super Baby meets YOU!

(You know, like Russia, except it's...oh...you know.)
