No more Monkeys jumping on the bed

A three year old can teach us important lessons. Here are 3 in three days.

#1. Flash Gordon and Batman fight and then share pizza and cookies.
Don't you think every fight with a friend should end in Pizza and cookies, (ok beer too!)
This came from Josiah on Saturday while we babysat him.

#2. Everyone likes Trains, even Jesus.
This is a quote from Emery in daughter Jenny's blog.

#3. Jumping off beds are dangerous.
This comes from Joy, only she didn't say it. It is actually implied.

This morning while on the phone with Cameron, she said "Gotta go, I just heard a thump and a scream". Every mother's dread.

I am now infront of the computer after spending the better part of today juggling grandchildren, cell phones, cars and hospitals.

Final results. Joy jumped from the top of the ladder of her Loft Bed, hitting the metal pole leg on the way down with her left lebow.
Broke the Humurous bone just above the elbow joint. Broke off an actual chunk that floated away from the elbow area.



She now has 3 pins in her elbow.



The trip transfer from one hospital to the children's hospital in the Ambulance was entertaining. Joy kept telling the Paramedics about the movie Cinderella. Scene by Scene. This of course was under the influence of Morphine.
Surgery went fine and now she sleeps at the hospital overnight. In a split cast for 4 weeks then the pins will be removed.

Lesson. . . . .
NO MORE MONKEYS JUMPING ON OR OFF THE BED!!
