Well, we're starting to thaw out some here in SW VA, but it's still in the low 30's. We're supposed to go see "Hank", our orthotics man, tomorrow. I'm concerned about how one of DD's AFO's are fitting. We've had them about four months and he said we should get around six months out of them, so I'm hoping he has a quick fix to help make them last longer.

On a good note, she's gone on the potty all day and is presently wearing regular panties and napping! Yay! Bad part is I'm just putting her on the potty and she's not telling me she has to go. Her doctor said it could be a problem with her type of CP, and we may have trouble potty training her because she may not be able to tell. So far she can tell me she's gone, which is a good sign that maybe we can accomplish this. Another bad thing - the pampers training pants now hurt because of where they are sitting on her leg/crotch area. (These are cut skinnier than diapers and ride all bunched up. May have to find some others. Until then it's either diapers or panties. (She doesn't like the cotton training panties or cloth diapers I've tried.
Lisa 42, DH 38, DD 2 - 32 wk preemie, diagnosed with CP at 2 1/2.
