I LOVE my Boots!!!

The last couple of days Sammy has been wanting to wear his boots constantly. I was surprised that his SMO fit nicely in them, so I have been letting him wear them. I have the boys wear "slipper shoes" (as Joseph calls them) around the house. They work really nicely for Sammy's SMO. Today, I was going to put them on Sammy and he said "NO oots ON!" I figured pick your battles right?

This morning I was noticing how nicely Sammy is walking. Our biggest concern for Sammy's walking is that he likes to turn his left foot out when he is walking. Our PT told us this is because he is not using his ankle joint properly. I think the SMO is actually helping this. I am skeptical of braces, I know that he needs them for bone growth. But up until recently they have not proven to help with his walking at all. This morning, I was like WOW he has come a long way. Nice straight feet. Though I am sure we will go through another growth spurt and have more gait issues in the future. But if we can come back to this after each one, we will be so happy. In the video I had to ask him to go get me a book, because his new favorite thing is to hit the flash button down on the camera, making it impossible to film him these days!!!

Potty training update: Sammy picked up a stomach bug over the weekend. So I have been changing a MILLION diapers. We are going to wait till this is done before we start. I am hoping next week.

Fat Burning Friday: I don't know what I am going to do about this. I noticed that every other post was a FBF post, and that wasn't my intention of this blog. Still trying to figure what I want to do about that. But I am still keeping track just may not make a weekly post anymore. I want this blog to be about Sammy. So I am torn. Maybe another blog........don't know.
