For those of you that have ever given your child nurse maid's elbow, you know the emotional pain that goes along with it. I fully believe that the parent suffers much longer than the child. On Thursday, I picked Taylie up (she didn't want me to) and she started crying. At first I thought that she was crying because I was making her move when she didn't want to, but a few minutes later, when she was still crying, I noticed her holding her arm. "Oh no," I thought. I've been riddled with guilt ever since. 5 minutes after the Doctor popped her elbow back into place, Taylie was fine. I however, days later, am still upset that I caused my child pain. I suppose it is something to learn from, as all things are. As for me, I'm just glad that Taylie is back to her old self and that she never blamed me for a second!
P.S.

A chronicle (albeit infrequent) of the life and lives of the Crockett family.

Our family
Our family
We are the Crocketts. I suppose we are not the only ones, but we feel unique. Mike and I met and married at the Mesa, AZ temple in 2002. It was not a long romance to say the least, but when you know something's right, why wait? So it was with daughter #1. Amy joined our budding family in May 2003, just two weeks before our first year anniversary. Taylie made our little circle bigger 17 months afterward. Macey decided to add a little spunk to our lives 19 months later, and now, here we are, 17 months later with Jack here to make the circle complete...or so we thought! We will be welcoming our newest little princess to the family the end of May 2010. To me, family is the breath of life. It's what makes my heart smile and my spirit soar.

Looks awesome! It's one of my favorite sites. I love to change it up every so often. It makes blogging more fun. Happy Blogging!
Love the changes! I just can't commit to making my blog really cute, but that is a nice touch. Sorry about Taylie's elbow. Drew has always had sensitive elbows, but I have never popped it out-her older cousin did right before Christmas. I thought that her wrist hurt, but I was mistaken. She came back from the doctor as happy as can be that her elbow is all better. Kids are amazing and they bounce back so easy.
Hi you don't know me but I found your blog off a friend of a friends sorry if that really bugs you, But my maiden name is Crockett and so it interested me to see if we were related.

Hey Heather! Glad you found me...funny how blogs work that way. Don't feel bad about the nurses elbow, we had an episode with Sadie when she was 2. I took her to my dad and he popped it right back in. Plus he told me that 90% of the time when parents brought their kids into the ER with elbow/arm pain, it was just a nurses elbow (this was when he was in medical school and such). So don't beat yourself up, it happens more often than you think. It is sad, though, how much pain it can cause. Luckily the treatment is just a turn of the wrist :) Also, we're building in Santa Clara, is that where Brett and Jenny live? Sorry for the long comment....Catch ya later.
Hi friend, sorry i haven't called back, not much up to the phone this week, having more bad sick days now that I jinxed myself on the blog saying I was having more good days....RUDE!! Really, I don't know how much longer I can do this sick thing!! As long as I have to, I guess! You can email me if you want, sjkohler at excite dot com , or on my blog! hope all is well in TX!
hey Heather, I think the biggest key to weight loss is counting calories, and shocking your muscles. You will have plenty of milk if you eat 1500 calories, and there is a reason the contestants on Biggest Loser look like they are in pain when they workout, because they are!!!! Every workout counts, so make it hurt! When you reach your goal, maintaining is a lot easier.:)
You got it right on, I know exactly how hard it is to avoid the snacking, it is so easy to lie to ourselves, but every single calories counts. Good job on the working out, you are awesome, I have a link to the fitness ridge blog, and their nutritionist is the best!!!! Check it out, she gives really good ideas.
