Shoes!

Annabelle wears her AFO's 21 hours a day. We take them off for a couple of hours in the morning and a couple of hours in the evening. We are sort of "over" the whole "my daughter has braces" thing. It's really not a big deal.

Now the issue is more one of fashion. It doesn't matter how cute the outfit may be, it always ends in AFO's. You can find shoes that go over the AFO's but the braces are still so big relative to Annie's size that wrapping a shoe around them would just look silly.

So lately we have been trying to coordinate our trips out with the couple of hours we can go without AFO's. So the decision to put on shoes goes something like this:

-What time is it?
-Has she had her boots off yet this morning?
-How long will we be out?
-If I put shoes on her, should I bring the AFO's along if we are going to be out more than 2 hours?
-(Keep in mind we haven't even gotten to the pick out the outfit and match the shoes part yet . . .)

But the end result sure is cute!
