Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Congratulations. I look forward to the day we can leave the shoes off but I am not quite ready for my girl to grow up that fast. She will be 2 in November and that seems impossible to me. Enjoy the party and the great milestone. Jenni --- pammi_kay wrote: > Well, 's birthday was today--four!!

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Thanks so much. He had a great time at the party, but it was so hot! We had it outside with a thing they bounced inside of. I can't believe he is four! Enjoy those next two years they will definitely be over before you know it! Pam and (8-12-01) > > > Well, 's birthday was today--four!!

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Thanks so much. I so hope we never even have to say the word relapse! That is so exciting going to see Dr. Ponseti.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2005 Report Share Posted August 14, 2005 Thanks, we are excited it's been like a two day party around here that we are just coming down from! His birthday was on a Friday so we did things to make the day special for him like going to Build a Bear and Toys R Us (we have to go out of town for these things). His party yesterday and then lastnight we camped out in the living room (it was too hot outside!). I set up a tent and put glow in the dark stars on the ceiling. We've had a big time.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 , He slept well. At times he had said he was ready to sleep without his shoes and at times he said he WANTED his shoes. We went that day to Build a Bear and built a special bear for his shoes. So at night we still have the routine of shoes there just not on ! (He also took them off the bear the next morning just like he always took them off himself in the mornings.) Pam and (8-12-01) > > Well, 's birthday was today--four!!

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Pam, Yeah! What an exciting day, and a great way for him to keep the shoes as a keepsake. That is really neat about his brother being so concerned about him, I imagine Jenna will be the same way with Sammy when we get to that point. Best of luck to you and Happy Birthday ! > Well, 's birthday was today--four!! His party is actually > tomorrow so today we took him to Build a Bear as a suprise.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 , Thanks! The two of them (brothers) are really close. I hope they always stay that way. decides each night now if he wants Coconut Whiskers to put his shoes on or not. Sometimes he does sometimes he doesn't--he says it doesn't hurt him if he misses a night in his shoes. I'm suprised he gives him any nights out since he never had any nights out of his shoes! called and asked for some additional blood and information said that Dr. Dobbs was finding some good information, but she didn't elaborate.(We started the whole blood donating process a couple of years ago, but my mom gave some when she went to St. Louis with me just a few months ago.)

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 , Thanks! It will be here before you know it (which is happy and sad-- because I can't believe how fast they are growning!). Hope you had a great vacation. He is consistently wanting the shoes on his bear so I think it has really helped. I think he may have still wanted them on sometimes if we had not had the bear. Which would not have been a problem except the shoes were getting too tight on . I'll still be around. Lately I don't have the time to read every post, but I at least try to read all the headlines and comment on those where I can be helpful. Good luck!
