Grace had a Valentine's Day party at preschool yesterday, and she was fired up big time for it. She made Valentine's for all her classmates the night before. She's gotten pretty good lately about drawing rather than just scribbling. Currently she can draw flowers, the sun, trees, and people. Her people are pretty hilarious. They're big circles with four lines coming out of them--two arms and two legs. She does make sure to include all the facial features as well.
She had an appointment with her brace maker last week, and he said it was pretty evident that she's grown quite a bit in the last six months. She has to get two new pairs of braces--her full length ones called KAFO's (Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthotics) and her small ones called AFO's (Ankle-Foot Orthotics. She wears her KAFO's to school every day, but on weekends we usually let her wear just her AFO's. Needless to say she's not crazy about wearing her KAFO's, because they're pretty big and unfomfortable. However, they do wonders for her stability in standing, and they keep her knees from buckling in.
