November 15, 2009

Noon on Sunday, and Grace and Michelle just left to shop for new shoes. Grace is still definitely on the small side for her age, but she has grown quite a bit the past six months or so. I'm not sure, but today I think they're shopping for some dress shoes. Grace is no longer wearing the braces that cover her entire legs, but she still does wear her AFO's, which stand for ankle-foot-orthotics and basically go just above her ankles. She has to wear special shoes with her braces, but she wears normal shoes on the occasions when we don't make her wear her braces (which isn't very often).

Grace went to her first Briar Cliff basketball game of the year yesterday, and rumor has it she had a great time. The Flanagan Center at Briar Cliff is a great place for her to be in her Dani, because there is a lot of open space and multiple floors to drive around on during the game. She continued her tradition that she started last year, coming into the locker room with me after the game and giving all the guys 5's. She loves doing that, the guys love seeing her, and I love bringing her in there with me. We don't do it when we lose, so there is added pressure to win the games she's at!
