Having fun at the park!

First time Arianna really got to play at the park. She had a blast! We'll be doing this alot more often. I'm getting better about letting her touch things as long as I have hand sanitizer to use right away. It's been baby steps for me. But you will be happy to hear we did take her to Mc Donalds the other day and even stayed and ate there. Of course no playing in the play area but she had fun sitting and eating her french fries.









I was thinking about you Kathy when I took this picture. You always tell me to take her to the park. :)
**Does anyeone know where I can get a good pair of size 4 shoes with arch support. The ortho reommend this for her flat feet.**

She's getting so big! I cannot believe how much of a little lady she looks like - no more toddler!

As for the shoes, I'd try a specialty shoe store that deals with more of the orthopedic shoes for all ages - they may already have something in stock. Otherwise, try a New Balance. When we'd have podiatric (foot) patients, we'd would & the podiatrists all recomended them! Just a thought!

What wonderful pictures - it looks like she was having a great time! Thanks for the invitation to the blog - I missed hearing about how you and Arianna were doing, and I'm glad to be back in the loop!

Have a great weekend!

Glad that Arianna had such a good time. Looks like she was really enjoying everything. Get used to those times as she get bigger and stronger. Life with Madison is as normal as any other 3 year old. No her immune system isn't great but we deal with it and life goes on.
As far as the shoes, I would try a Stride rite shoe store or a speciality store where they will fit the shoe to her foot. They should know which brand comes with a higher arch support. Because Madison wears AFO's in her shoes I can get by with good old Target sneakers!
Take care and have a great week.

Gosh..I wish you guys lived closer...she would have a blast chasing around my Eli (Isaac would just stare at her while eating his feet)
Big girl bed, going to McDonalds, the park...oh, Vanessa...I know that must seem so good to you. Keep it up...you guys are doing great...I am PROUD OF YOU for stepping out of your comfort box. (seriously proud...it takes a lot for us to take that big step...and you are doing great!)
Lots of love,
Kathy

What a fun outing! It looks like Arianna had a blast! Do you have any idea how I can get email notification when you update your blog, Vanessa? The old way doesn't work and I hate missing all these cool updates! Give your baby girl a hug for me!
