And before you think I've got a wailing child standing here while I post on mumsnet, I haven't, I've just packed him off to school with dh, who takes him. On their way out ds had his arm in the car door while dh was shutting it (how tf it happened I don't know, wasn't there) and they came screaming back into the house a minute after they'd left. Ds has had Calpol already this morning because he's got a spot in his mouth and he was complaining that it hurt. I know it won't make the spot go away but it will stop it hurting for a bit. So I checked he could waggle his fingers, which he can, and move his hand up and down, which he can, and concluded that it's not broken and I should pack him off to school. He has a plaster on his wrist because there's a small scratch on it. He also has instructions that if it really hurts he must tell the teacher and I'll come and get him. Eeek, was I hasty? He'd stopped crying by the time I got the plaster on which makes me tinhk it can't have been that bad but dh said 'I HEARD it CRUNCH' - more I think because he was panicking about being late and he was being a drama queen, as is sometimes his wont. Reassurance please! Or otherwise if you think I was harsh. Ds is 8.5yo btw. Thanks.
