One significant thing is that it’s already time for Gwen to get a new set of braces. These will be lightweight carbon-fiber based and will support her shins more so than her calves. They should be a little easier for her when it comes to taking steps. As she’s still developing the muscles in her gluteus, she tends to dip her bottom back when she stands, thereby throwing off her balance.
The new braces will also have a hard plastic boot that slides right into the footprint of the brace and should be easier to fit into regular shoes. As a result, one of the tasks that took place during the clinic visit was getting a new mold of her feet. As was the case the initial time this happened, Gwen was very perplexed and observant of the entire process.
We were also imformed that Gwendolyn has been approved for aqua therapy this summer. We suppose that’s as good of an excuse as any that it’s time to get our voluptuous little lady a flattering swim suit. June will be here before she knows it!
In-between our doctor’s visits, Gwen found a new friend to play with… Herself. As she filled the down time between consultations, she soon realized that her reflection was staring right back at her. It was all fun and games until she leaned in to hug this familiar looking new friend only to conk her head on the mirror. All was forgiven quickly though as Gwen followed up the tears that ensued from this self-inflected head butt by giving a big smacker to her reflection. In case you are wondering, we checked and the mirror is cleaned daily so luckily tomorrow’s clinic visitors won’t have to deal with the aftermath of Gwen’s affection.
As for Braelyn, it was yet another morning of confusion as she tried to ascertain exactly where her sister had gone off to… Luckily, Grandma McKee was there for plenty of TLC until her “little” sister returned.
One thing’s for sure, both our girls have the market cornered on facial expressions.
