Had to share

I realize I don't ever blog so there is perhaps only one person who will read this but I just had to put it down in print so I can remember it.  So. stinkin'. funny.

The other day I was looking at baby pictures with Elizabeth and pointed out that she broke her collar bone when she was born.  I tried to explain where the collar bone was and ended up just saying 'it's by your arm... you broke your arm right here (point to collar bone) but then you got all better'. 

Long, long pause.

Huge eyes.

Even more huge hug.

"Oh Mom, THANK YOU for putting my arm back on.  Thank you."

I wanted to explain how broken bones really work but I just couldn't.  I was soaking up the sweet, sweet innocence of her gratitude.  And suppressing the giggles.  So. funny.
