bicycle crash

Last week, my nephew Jacob had a terrible accident on his bike, had to have surgery, and is now in a cast for the summer.  We all feel so bad for him - he is truly the kid that loves to be outside running, riding and climbing.  Now all he can do is walk.  I'm pretty sure that his summer is ruined, but hopefully he will get to have adventures of a different kind.

What do you send a kid that can't do anything?

After thinking about it, we decided to get him a game - Rush Hour, that he can play by himself and manipulate with his good hand.  And of course, had to make him a custom t-shirt that he can use to explain what happened to him.  I'm sure he's going to get tired of telling people about it!

My 1st attempt bled, so Lio has inherited it.  He's already had a minor bike crash this summer, so it is sort of fitting.

So here is attempt #2.  I liked the white on the brown better, but was worried that the shirt wouldn't be big enough for Jacob to fit his cast under comfortably.  Of course the next size up was just wayyyyy too huge.  But I think the green looks nice, too.

Jacob, we love you and miss you!  Off to the post office.
