Cutting off the cast



Just a random photo, showing off one of Russell's new talents...hair. He seriously loves doing this. Just giggles and giggles.

How to remove a cast:

• Turn on a movie. Baby Einstein is preferable.
• Lay down child with cast in front of said movie.
• Use the tin snips to cut through the cast by using a see-saw motion.  We keep one of our hands in between the tin snips and his skin, just to protect him more. 





• It may seem like it's not going to work for a while, just keep on sawing.
• After you get that one off, move down to the lower bar across the lower stomach.

• Repeat previous steps until you have cut all the way through the cast.
• Next, grab each side of the cast and pull until there is enough room to slide one arm out of the cast.
• Then slide the rest of the cast off.



And you're done! Celebrate with a great big hug, and dancing and cheering. And a great big sigh of relief, that no one got hurt.

And then celebrate with lots of baths! And outings to the swimming pool!
