Violet's magic boots

Here are Violet's braces.  She currently wears them for about 1-2 hours a day, but the goal is to make it all the way to 8 hours a day to correct her toe walking.

 We sent Grandpa out to search for some socks that would work with the braces.  Violet had been wearing microfiber tights but she needed something that could be worn with every outfit....even her swimsuit which she insists on wearing pretty much every day.  What we needed was 1. something CUTE that Violet would agree to wear 2. Knee high 3. Non slip, to prevent rubbing.

He went to REI (who doesn't love REI) and came back with a back of really cute smart wool hiking socks for kids.  Success!  Violet loves them!

Here she is all strapped in.  You can see how this would have been pretty traumatic at first but she has gotten used to them and hardly ever throws a fit when it's time to put them on and do her exercises.
Her exercises involve stretches, jumping like a frog and bouncing up and down on a small exercise ball.  Physical therapy is so much more fun for little kids!
