Into Boots and Bar

2 weeks ago, the day we had been waiting for since starting Starbaby's talipes treatment 9 months earlier finally arrived.

We managed 3.5 weeks in his post-tenotomy cast with no slippage, and on the 29th January we made the move into BnBs. The first day was wobbly, the night wasn't easy (but wasn't anywhere near as bad as I feared) and by late morning the next day he had re-learned how to crawl around already. Particularly impressive, since he had only learnt to crawl without BnBs 3 days earlier! 

Since then, he has totally bowled me over in how well he's done in them. He can get around faster than ever, is sleeping pretty well (bar the 5.30am get-up-for-the-day... but we won't dwell on that) and seems very at ease in them. I was worried that with him being a fair bit older than almost every other baby that goes into BnBs (he's 10.5 months) that he would take much longer to adjust and be much more unhappy, but it has been the opposite. He's taken them so well in his stride.

Who knows what the future will bring, but for now I am so relieved that our first 2 weeks in BnBs have been so much better than I expected.

Here's Starbaby showing that he won't let his BnBs stop him getting somewhere he wants to go!
