Oh goodness, Kaitlin has a baby doll that wears a DBB, but books??? I never

thought about that...guess I better pull out the magic markers and get ready..

Thanks for the heads up on that one!!!

The other night was getting ready for bed. He's turning 2

next week and loves to discuss everything in great detail. So we're

'reading' one of his books, called 'Mog and Me', about a little boy and

his cat doing stuff. He's read the book often before, but this time he

looks at the little boy getting into bed (cat getting into his basket)

and says " Baba sleep " , I agree. " Shoes? Where baba night shoes? " He

was so worried about this child not having his shoes, he wouldn't let us

put on his FAB. I sneaked off with the book while my husband distracted

and drew shoes on with colour pens. When I gave him the book back, he

looked carefully at the shoes, touched them and was happy again. We put

on his shoes and off he went to sleep...

ok, that was just so sweet!! Ahhhhhhh... I love that he can talk to you

like that.

Darbi's nowhere near getting anything like that across to me... she tries

to talk but it all sounds the same. Balloon and shoes sound like the same

word and neither of which sound much like they should either!

Oh well... I know she'll speak when she's ready. Quite honestly I don't

need another child learning to smart mouth me any sooner than necessary lol!

I have to tell you that this story actually made me cry! I'm sitting

here like a nincompoop hoping my DH doesn't see me! That is

absolutely the most beautiful, adorable thing I ever heard! Make

sure you keep a record somewhere of this story.

Kori,

I made the DBB for her doll out of the Markell shoes that I chopped holes in

when Kaitlin had a sore and the bar that went with them. The shoes were so

small (like a 000) that they fit right on a cabbage patch doll, no problem.

As young as Kaitlin is (10 months) she LOVES her cabbage patch...think it's

b/c of the shoes???

It sounds so silly to write it down, but I didn't want her to feel all alone

in wearing the DBB.

I feel completely silly now...are you laughing at me over there??? ;-)

Freeman

PS. I thought about donating the shoes but they have holes in them and I am

guessing we will need the bar again, when she quits wearing the 's

Thanks everyone,

You all understand how sweet our little babies are and how they deal

with the Ponseti method 'experience'. It's great to share here, people

who haven't been through it can't understand our little triumphs,

worries and special moments in the same way this group does.

I made both my kids DBB toys. 's was a green frog stuffed toys I put his

old DBB on - he hardly wore the DBB though (, not the frog) so it was

fairly non-issue but he liked to play with it anyway, maybe he did work out some

of his own baby issues about his feet there. I remember now he went through a

faze of putting " casts " on a lot of things. With Evy being in the bar all the

time though, he has a rag doll farmer boy... I made a wooden " bar " and sewed it

between the boots on the doll.

Not silly Jen, that's about the rational behind my sewing a bar on Everett's

doll - I guess I wanted the whole thing to see more normal to him.

Jonah has OrthoTeddy, a stuffed bear who wears an FAB. Our daughter took

OrthoTeddy to preschool when they were talking about doctors and hospitals. She

gave the kids this adorable lecture on clubfoot and Ponseti treatment.

Once, while Jonah was getting his casts changed, the casting tech asked Hannah

if she wanted him to put a cast on the doll she had with her. Hannah looked at

her doll, looked at the tech and said: " But my doll doesn't have crooked feet. "

OMG, how sweet is that?!

I think you should email this story to Dr. Ponseti. I bet he would get a kick

out

of it!

I can't wait until the stage when is ready for his shoes at night...*sigh*

Right now it's like a WWF match in our house. LOL

I just loved this story, and now I have one of my own to

add...although not quite as cute! Last night I was reading to my

oldest daughter, Guinevere (4 years old, no CF) before bed and she

was putting jammies on her baby doll. I realized she wasn't

listening, because she was digging around in the baby doll clothes

again, and pulled out a pair of shiny red shoes. So I went back to

reading, and after she got them on her baby with the jammies, she

tapped me and said " Look mommy, these are my baby's special shoes.

She was born with a club foot too. " I was like, Ohhhh, that's so

nice trying really hard not to cry because it was so sweet. So we

laid there together in bed reading, each holding our clubfoot babies

with their " special shoes " . Now I have to figure out how to make a

DBB for a Bitty Baby! Any suggestions?

Awww...how cute is that?!?! Maybe a glue gun and a chop stick that you cut

in 1/2 might do the trick.
