(Central Park in March... It is not as beautiful as it would be in the spring but picturesque none the less.)

A.J. went to the Dr. yesterday b/c his knee has been hurting him since the 19th when he and Z.M. collided on the trampoline and injured him. We kinda blew it off as no big deal -- boys will be boys -- and we did ice and Motrin, but he would not stay off of it. And on Friday he insisted on participating in a PE class assignment and i think he re-injured it. So, after a week we finally decided to take him to the Dr. and they took X-rays (which came back negative - thank goodness) b/c they considered that he might have fractured his growth plate near his knee where he was most sensitive. Now they think it is just a severe sprain. He has to have crutches and totally stay off of it for a week so it can heal. He says it feels better than it did over the weekend but he's gonna do it anyway.

Thought of the day:

"Oh sure, I've got lots of fears. My job is to conquer my fears." - Madonna

(Glamour Mag. 5-08) I thought this very inspirational b/c it is one thing to have fears and let them control you but quite another if you make a point to conquer those fears so they become less significant.

Have a blessed day.
