A cool new ice pack

Oh our sweet Rebecca got a rope burn on her finger from the repel line the big kids made on the Lego table. Her finger was pretty red and sore looking. She has such petite hands that any of our ice packs are giant on her and I knew that she wouldn't be able to keep one on for very long.

I opened the fridge instead of the freezer and saw a handful Taco Bell hot sauce packets in there. Perfect! The hot sauce packets were small enough for her to hold onto and cold enough to cool her skin down. They got warm pretty quickly so we kept switching out for new ones.

 I threw some into the freezer to get them colder. They get pretty hard in there, but they get squishy fairly quickly and stay cold longer then the ones from the fridge.

The saying on the packet was so perfect for this occasion. It read "It only gets better from here."

What a great little find to help little ouchies get better fast!
