Dry-Pro Cast Cover
We purchased a Dry Pro Cast cover for Amy so she could play in the water during the summer. These things work great! But make sure that you have a good seal! We had so much run running through the water! But I wish the pressure wasn’t so high. The Read more…

Cast #4 Applied, Phew!
Cast #4, complete with “magic sparkles” (glitter). I was politely reminded (with a laugh) that they didn’t want to see us before the 26th. I’m all for that! She has already taken a few steps. Much relieved to see her walking again. Update: Look at her go during lunch! That’s Read more…

Great Job Mom, Now We Need Cast #4

The Journey Begins
This is my beautiful little girl. Her name is Amelia Rose, and this month, she turns 2 years old. The big thing on my mind? Amy’s birthday party. We’re having a pool party, and it’s all about Elmo, her favorite character. Before today, it was the most important thing of Read more…
