Colin got fitted for his orthotics today. Unfortunately, the way the babies’ schedules work out right now, there is not a good time to schedule these appointments. We’re either running into nap time, having to cut someone’s nap short, or hitting lunch time.
This morning, we were running into nap time, so someone (besides me) was a little crabby. Other than that, however, the process went well, and we were back in time to still get Colin down for a morning nap — which he really needed since I’m pretty sure he had been up more or less since 4:30 this morning.
We go in to pick up the orthotics (in jungle print with green straps) a week from Tuesday. They are relatively short — coming up just over the ankles — and are designed to help keep his feet from turning out or in, and his ankles upright. I imagine it will take a few days for Colin to get used to the feel of them (and the new shoes he’ll need to fit over them). Then we’ll be really pushing the walking practice, because I want to get this boy up and moving around (even more).
