Alex broke his arm again! Yep, that's right, he did. I was at our stake Relief Society service project, and had a realization. I thought, "Oh, I have baby blankets I can donate to the women's shelter." So, my plan was to hurry home, pick them up, and drive back as soon as the speaker was done. My mother said it was inspiration. "How can we get Krystal home really fast without making her worry? Baby blankets!" Well, it worked and Alex made it to the doctor. But, poor little thing, he had to wait all weekend with his funny little arm in a splint because we had to let the specialist set it again. Today is the day though, and he's getting it set right now. Well, I don't know about right now, 'cause I'm not there. I'm a WIMP!
Do you know what we learned about little kid bones? They have the ability to straighten themselves out while they grow! If we didn't set and cast Alex arm, it would take two to three years, but it would straighten out. If we set and cast it, the bow will take about six months to disappear. I think that's fascinating!!!

I am so sorry! There was a boy I grew up with who broke his arm three times I think! Good luck. I know broken arms are no fun.
