Orthotics, Shoes and Playing

We went and got Ali’s new orthotics in May…

We also had to get new shoes… and Sadi got Ali’s new balance ones as well as her sandals. These are Ali’s new ones.

Sadi got new ones at the same time… that don’t tie… to minimize frustration since the ones she got from Ali do tie.

These are Ali’s new orthotics on the left, old ones on the right…

They didn’t work out so well.. they were too tight… and would have bruised had I left them on her much longer than I did.

So we went to the physical therapist for another opinion to see exactly what we needed for both kids. Then we went back to get both girls fitted for orthotics…

With the 10th Anniversary coming up… there is one more book I plan on getting. But when we killed Osama… there was really no more avoiding explaining this to them.

However, we also needed to make sure not to vilify people who don’t deserve it. This has always been a focus… my kids have met Muslim families. But since it was going to be specifically mentioned I wanted to specifically address it too.
