Wynter has new butterfly shoes--> that is what she calls them anyways (because the have butterflies on them). She has worn 'Sure Steps' since she started weight baring (because we wanted to train/strengthen her muscles the right position as she learned to walk), but this is the first time that we have put her in anything like this/this big. The goal was to prevent her from locking her knees with each step/ increase quad strength/ improved gate...AND when she wears them- her gait IS totally different (she CANNOT hyperextend her knees), so we are trying to see how long she will have to wear them before her brain "reprograms" itself to this new gait pattern...she does like putting them on, but once they are on- she doesn't want to take them off :) Her brother even stated "hey- she walks like us now" - he is right :)
