It turns out that Butterflies don't really fly

Today after Mckinley's Halloween party at preschool, Mckinley didn't want to come in the house at all. She spent most of the day out playing in her new castle that Grandpa made her out of a washer box, and flying off of things...you know, the way a butterfly does. Well, at some point she decided she could fly off of her toy car and fell on the ground on her arm. She came running up to the house crying that she had broken her arm. After looking it over and I must confess, a bit of yelling at her, (my sympathy stores are a little low after she has already had 2 broken arms at 4 years old.) we gave her some Tylenol and took her to the instacare. She fell asleep while we were waiting for her to get x-rays and while she was having the x-rays taken, she was in so much pain that I was sure it must be broken. However, the Dr. wasn't able to see an obvious break, but because the pain is in her elbow, sometimes fractures can be hard to see. So the Dr. sent the x-rays to a radiologist and we wont know until tomorrow if it's broken or not. Until then, this little butterfly has a broken wing:(

I'm so sorry! I hope it's not broken.
