227.305

I LOVE nice people!
I had to go get Elsie from school a little early today for a doctors appointment.
We went to go see a foot doctor.
We were getting more and more concerned about the way her foot is fanning out...
And today the Doc said if we don't do something about it now, she is gonna end up with early arthritis and then she WON'T WANT to walk.
So we are making her more foot braces, but this time they won't be as bulky, so it won't interfere with how well she is doing with her walking.
So she was casted today...they just used the cast stuff like when you break your arm.
They held her foot in the correct position while the cast hardened.
She was a trooper.
She was a little nervous when it came to cutting the cast off!
But she did so good.
Well, as we left the receptionist had this little bear sitting on the counter, just for Elsie.
How sweet is that???
Elsie loves her bear.
She hasn't put it down since we got home.
She has decided to name it Danny (possibly after cousin Dani???)
I am glad that these places realize that this kind of stuff is kind of scary for little kids.
How sweet of them to give her such a great reward!!!
The girls were so sweet tonight, playing with their bears...
Have I said how much I LOVE when they don't fight!!!

Oh so sweet! What a great idea, to give her such a special present on the way out so she'll remember that good instead of the scary uncertainty of the casting process!

Elsie is a trooper. She always will be!

There is no need to doubt. Of course she named it after me!

it is so great that they think of things like that. we had to get a mole removed on parker's arm when he was about 2-ish. it was very traumatizing for him, but the teddy bear they gave him afterward put a smile on his face.

elsie is a very brave girl :)
