can you believe?

Arden has a broken collarbone. I don't know who all I told that she fell off the bed about a week and a half ago. Well, she hasn't complained at all but yesterday she flinched when i picked her up and I thought "what in the world---that should not be sore at this pt."
Took her in and Allen and I were laughing about it was probably nothing because she was telling him "it doesn't hurt". Well, then he felt something---don't know how because I had checked 1000times. He gave her and xray and sure enough. She will be in a figure 8 harness for a month--has to sleep in it and everything. so uncomfy. When he came in with the xrays I started laughing --he was too---and said "I am the worst mom." He said it had already begun to heal but she would need to make sure not to re-injure or we would be talking surgery. Can you believe it? She is happy as a lark because to her "it didn't hurt anyway" and she got a new tea party from target.
I will have to take a picture to post of her in her figure 8 harness.

But in the meantime--Jerry asked Arden what she wanted to be when she grows up? Without hesitation she said "a Butterfly". I just love kids.

OMG! Bless her little heart. I am so sorry, Christy. At least she's not in terrible pain....that's what would kill me. I'll pray that she heals super quick!!

You should get her one of those butterfly habitats. They had them at Target not too long ago. You send off for the caterpillars, watch them make a cocoon and then turn into a beautiful butterfly! Really neat!
