Lesson Learned For Alex

  Yesterday Alex fell and sprained his ankle. Badly. In fact it would probably heal faster had it been broken. Now he is on crutches for the foreseeable future. A few weeks at least.

  The child isn't accident prone or clumsy but he was doing something he wasn't supposed to be doing. Consequences. There will be lots of activities he wanted to do that are now off the table.

  Even school is going to be an issue. The school bus for starters. And all of his classes are on the third floor. Thankfully there is an elevator. But it's not going to be an easy job. More consequences.

  What seems to be the worst is Saturday is Alex's birthday. While he wanted to do nothing but relax and play video games all day I think he doesn't like the idea of being "limited".  Consequences.

  Theses next few weeks will be a challenge. For all of us.  But I think he has learned a valuable lesson. 

  Especially in a two story house.
