Broken and Praying

As I've said before, this blog is just as much about keeping a "diary" as it is keeping our family informed of our lives. I want to always be able to look back at the "little" things. We went to dinner at Outback Sunday night with some friends and while we were finishing up our conversation, the children were jumping off of the bench. They each jumped probably twenty times until my Ethan jumped and landed wrong. He has hardly complained about it and I saw no swelling, so we decided to give it a day or two. This morning at swim school I noticed that it looked swollen. I took him to Dr. Pojol, was sent for x-rays and low and behold, it's broken in three places. I never would have guessed that because he has barely breathed a word about his foot. The orthopaedic doctor decided that he did not need a cast because it was a "good" break. After he told us that, Ethan said, "It's because I prayed, Mommy." I just melted when he said that because he really gets it. I wish we could all see God through a child's eyes. Ethan really trusts Him and I pray that he always does.
