Bun Bun got new orthotics last week since she outgrew her first one. These plastic molds wrap her ankles and help her walk. The tight squeeze gives her sensory input. The firm mold help stabilize her loose ligaments and prevent her feet from "rolling" inward.
Bun Bun is starting to outgrow her little sneakers, too. I thought it would be appropriate to buy her sandals (those athletic looking ones) for the summer since she would have to wear socks with the orthotics.
Our first pair had to be returned. They had velcro fasteners which she quickly figured out how to peel and take off her shoes. The second pair had those single pull elastic laces with a fancy fastener that I was sure Bun Bun won't figure out soon how they worked. They were hot pink water shoes. Well, we had to return those, too, since the soles provided no traction. Sigh...
For now, we're still wearing our old trusty lace-up sneakers. I put in an order for some sandals from Amazon. They will arrive sometime next week. Stay tuned!
