Cast & Converse

Here's my baby girl, waking up from her nap time on a Sunday afternoon. Georgea still takes her post-nap and her morning milk from a "Nubby" sippy cup. This is part of the waking up slow ritual that she so enjoys. Georgea is not a morning girl and she loves lounging in bed when she first comes to in the morning as well as from her afternoon nap. I took these photos two days prior to the removal of her "BIG cast." We survived three weeks with a dry, not too dirty arm covering and zero complaining from our sweet, go-with-the-flow girl.

I've been waiting and waiting to get a pair of Converse high tops on Georgea, or any other "normal" pair of shoes that isn't extra wide or stretchy-soft, for that matter. Looking at her in these shoes is very symbolic to me. This is one of my reminders that things have changed around here, that we have overcome one of our big life hurdles as a family. Georgea's surgery is behind us. The shoes are cute, and I love watching her run around in them, but having the worrisome surgery and post-surgery recovery in our rear view mirror is what those shoes are all about for this thankful Mama.

Cutie with a cast, but not for long!
