Yesterday little miss Natalie was playing with Maile when apparently her loving big sister decided to yank her off a blanket by her hand. Natalie cried and whined and started babying her left wrist. She wouldn't use it at all and I started to think it may be sprained or worse case broken. However the other day she got a little scrape on her thumb and for days after it was healed she would cry and fuss about it so I figured she might just be acting a little dramatic with her arm. I decided to make her a little sling and then wait until the morning to see if she was still as hurt after a good night sleep. My intuition was correct. She woke up using her left wrist completely and hasn't mentioned it since. I told the girls to not ask her about it and I quickly hid the sling, I don't want anything to trigger her memory, I am afraid she might milk her "injury" more. She is a funny girl, just slightly on the dramatic side, she seriously didn't use her arm for the entire night and now it is perfectly fine. I am not saying it didn't hurt at all but I think she played into all the sympathy and attention we were all giving her!
