Five years old - 2000

 Birthday Boy!

Troy managed to visit yet another hospital on our annual trip to Utah.  "The day after we got there--before he'd even had breakfast,  Troy broke his leg.  He and Travis were playing on grandma's glider.  When it got going too fast for him he tried putting hisfoot down to stop it.  Unfortunately the glider hit his leg just above the ankle and snapped both bones.  He had a cast on clear to his thigh so he had to ride in a stroller everywhere we went.  He learned to hobble around on the cast or scoot around on hisbottom and did pretty good at getting

where he wanted to go after a very short while."

 In Troy's words:
"I got a broken leg on our trip on a see-saw at grandma's house.  I cried like a baby.  it really stinked."

"Troy is in Kindergarten and loves it.  Although, after a couple of days, when I picked him up, he said: Kindergarten takes too long, mom!
