Ah. How many years will he have it?
I can't think of anything else short of other kids going "waaay cool" or whatever the equivalent is. Or just expressing a complete lack of "different."
Wanted to say earlier, no scary Grace eps! Don't do that, Gracie!! I got one version of that and no,no Missy.

Actually, come to think of it, him in the same school, with the same peers for a while will eventually work. It's just still so new.

school is fine, it is shorts in the summer at day camp. shorts aren't allowed at school so it never comes up.

sara, it was a quick episode. She was extremely cute and smiley this morning.

Because books.
Is it a true club foot, msbelle? I ask because Ben had what they called a "modified" club foot at birth, and we did a few casts and a brace before he was two, and then just stretching exercises (which I think we need to do again soon). In other words, maybe the brace will help more quickly than you think?

it was what he had surgery on last summer. He had had surgery as an infant (probably), but never got braced, so it went back. I think it was a full club, it affected not just his foot, but the alignment of his knee and hip. If he goes without a brace for almost a full day, you can see the foot twisting back inwards.
He will get over it or he will wear long pants.

That's good, Kat. I just wish as little drama for her (and y'all) as possible. One day soon, I'll get to see her smile for myself.
I hope mac comes to the more matter of fact unselfconscious soon. But I can see how it would be hard at that age. But honestly, if he can manage in pants through summer, it'll be fine. Waste of adorable shorts and mom eyerollies, sure, but...

Huh. It appears that a giant shadow is eating the moon or something.
