Okay, so our girl thinks that she is at the Daytona 500. The physical therapist gave her a walker to use at home and she is loving it. She is speeding around the corners and if we can make it another 24 hours without her falling and hitting her head I will be so thankful. Obviously I don't want her to fall EVER but let's face it, if she falls again before the social worker makes her visit we are going to have a hard time explaining it. I really liked the PT that came today. She was really good with Emma and was very thorough. She believes that Emma needs orthotics and I am in agreement. When Emma walks she turns her feet completely out and she is really putting a lot of stress on her ankles. The PT seems to think that our best bet is to try the orthotics and try to get her ankles in alignment. We are just waiting to get scheduled for a consult and I am really anxious to see how it goes.
Overall we had a good but busy day. I had to have a much needed hair cut and color this morning so my mom watched Emma. Bo had a day with his dad. Ashton is completely exhausted from AAU practice last night. Brady had jazz band practice this afternoon and the list just goes on and on.
Tomorrow is D-Day. Please say a prayer that we can keep speed demon safe and I can get the house is some order before our social worker gets here at 4 p.m. It's going to be a busy day!

Ephraim's one-year post-adoption meeting was on Sunday. That was his last one with the social worker. Yea! I'm sure you'll be relieved to have this visit over after the false start. Emma looks so proud of herself in all the pictures! When the twins were about Emma's age, they wore orthotics and had PT through Easter Seals because they walked on their ankles. It helped them SO much.
GOOD LUCK tomorrow. I'm certain it will go great. Ellie would LOVE to play with Emma's new walker. Man, she'd think it was the coolest thing in the world!!
