So, our cute little Maya has casts on her feet. She has walked on her tippy toes since she started walking. Her doctor recommended that she get evaluated, because even though it is cute to see her prancing around all the time, it is actually bad for her muscles. If she keeps doing it, her muscles won't develop correctly and then she won't be able to walk flat footed. So, she has been going to physical therapy and casting is something they do to try to break the habit. She has had them for 2 weeks and will have them for 3 more, for a total of 5.
Last week she had pink. She will have these orange ones for 2 weeks and then a new color for 2 more weeks. 
She actually has only complained once. The first night she asked to take them off at bedtime. After that I haven't heard one complaint and she does everything any regular kid does. She climbs all over the playground and even still does gymnastics class. I sure hope these casts do the trick!
