Teagan got her cast off last Tuesday, which was a happy and a sad thing. She was excited to be able to shower normally again and to be able to take the new walking cast on and off, but she was sad to see her cool cast taken off.
On Thanksgiving morning, instead of focusing on cooking the ham or the desserts like I should have, I painted lovely polka dots on her cast with some of her fingernail polish colors. It took a while because fingernail polish brushes aren't the biggest brushes out there, and some of the colors needed 4 or 5 layers to cover up the black underneath. The pictures don't do it justice; there are sparkles on some of the dots that made them look really great! She decided that if she was told she was going to have to keep this one on for another week, then we were going to paint little ornament toppers and hooks onto the dots to make them look like Christmas ornaments :-)
She loved the dotted cast, and who wouldn't? If you're going to have to wear one, why not make it fit your style?!

I love that she wanted to turn them into ornaments. Those are some cool polka dots and WOW, that must have taken a lot of time with a tiny brush!
