A fighting chance

We're only two days into this whole cast thing, and Jacob's already had enough.

He's finally worked up the nerve to try to use his left arm again, this time for a little leverage to try to drive the big Mack truck. But the sharp, pointy edge of a cast has little to no grip on our hardwood floor, and instead of making forward progress, Jacob merely finds himself slipping onto his belly or falling face-first into the back of the tractor trailer.

Nothing quite breaks this mom's heart like knowing how desperately my child wants to accomplish something, watching him give it his all, and seeing all his best efforts thwarted by something beyond his control.

I racked my brain for a solution, and this was the best I could come up with.

I guess that will have to do for now.
