Crash!


My oldest son, June Bug, received "Heelys" for Christmas from my parents. He was so excited and then realized they were too small (our 12 yr old is a giant with a size 10 1/2 foot ;) and when he puts his hand to mine his are an inch taller-and I have big hands...for a girl), Grammie and Grandpa sent them back and the new pair came last Friday. June Bug put them on and he looked like an expert immediately! He went to Homeschool Group wearing them and had lots of fun. That night the kids were all talking in the kitchen with Daddy and I and June Bug was just skating through us as we all talked. One of the kids stepped in front of his path, as he was coming through, just to tease him. They jumped out of the way at the last second to avoid being hit. At the same time, June Bug turned to avoid hitting them and slammed into the counter, flipped over and landed face first on the floor! We took him to the hospital and found out that he broke both bones in his left arm! He is our first kid to brake a bone! He is doing well although his arm still hurts. He is very independent and doesn't ask or take any help (except his chores :)). I find Stink Bug doing things and I'll ask him why he is doing it and he says that June Bug has a broken arm and needs my help. What a good little brother. Right now he is carrying up his brothers laundry and then he will be folding it so June Bug can go camping with the scouts. He still skates around with Heelys much to his Dad's dismay! New house rule: No Teasing Anyone While On There Heelys!
