Just a little information on copper for your daily dose of knowledge:
Copper is an essential trace mineral that serves several important bodily functions. Copper can act as an antioxidant. As an antioxidant, it scavenges damaging particles in the body known as free radicals. Copper is necessary for the growth, development, and maintenance of bone, connective tissue, brain, heart, and many other body organs. Rumor has it that it prevents arthritis. Copper is essential for life, which means that the human body must have copper to stay healthy. This mineral helps transport oxygen through your body, maintain hair color, and is used to make hormones. In fact, for a variety of biochemical processes in the body to operate normally, copper must be a part of our diet.
I keep repeating that last line to myself so I feel better about finding a penny in Tristan's diaper this morning.
Love Anna

With Adam it was a blue mancala stone. I'm just glad I didn't know it had gone in before it came out!
