Almost 2 weeks in to the AFO

And things are going VERY well.  E is really starting to take off with his walking.  We go just about everywhere with him holding on to 1 finger.  We walk pretty much all day - up and down the house, outside, up and down the driveway, around the car (cruising).  He got a tricycle for Christmas from his grandparents, and his feet don't quite reach the pedals, but it is the kind that has a handle for the adult to steer it.  He prefers to push it down the driveway and ring the bell from the front of the bike :-).  I'm having difficulty finding socks long enough for the AFO, but his skin seems OK with that.  It helps that he's still (sort of) on 2 naps, so he only wears the AFO in 2-3 hour blocks during the day.  We are still wearing the Denis Brown bar at night and during naps.  Neither the bar/boots nor the AFO seem to bother him in the slightest.  I say it on a regular basis - hubby and I are very lucky that E inherited his daddy's temperament.  I am way too high strung - if his personality was like mine, we'd be in a battle, I'm sure!
