Brace

We put Diana's brace between her shoes this morning and it did NOT go over well. She screamed and cried so hard it broke my heart yet again. As Brad said too, her new nickname should be Houdini because she can escape from her shoes within a matter of seconds. The shoes are impossible to keep on and that might be more frustrating than anything. I did some research and tried some of the tricks that were suggested to keep the shoes on better and she can still escape. We have an appointment with the nurses this Thursday for a shoe fitting so I am hoping they will give me some better ideas. I was supposed to take Jonathan to GB's pool today for the last day of summer and Brad was supposed to work but he quickly realized that I wasn't going to be able to handle both kids today with Diana's screaming. So Brad and Jonathan met GB at the pool and I stayed home to deal with Diana. Jonathan has gotten so good at swimming this summer, we are very proud of him. After swimming today, Brad took him into the shower and they have cranberry soap in there and after Brad washed Jonathan, he said "Mmmmm, I could eat myself for dinner." I thought this was hilarious.

Thank you to the Pusateri's you put up with Diana's crying tonight while we tried to have dinner, amazing pizza's on the grill. Jonathan had so much fun playing with Alivia, Rocco and Liliana. He said his favorite was "putting out the fire" with the garden hose. I am happy Jonathan had friends to play with because Diana was consuming all of Brad's and my attention with trying to keep her shoes on and keep her from screaming.
