New shoes...!

Dear Nicky,

We finally got you some shoes that fit you right. Up till now, we've allowed you to be the kid who hates shoes and socks, and the shoes we always gotten you have been slipons, which you slip off at your earliest convenience. But the other day your PT said it was finally time to go ahead and get you a real pair of shoes with a lot of ankle and heel support. It's our hope that the improved security in your ankles will allow you to take your focus off that area and maybe put it somewhere else, like bending your knees. So we went to s Stride Rite store this afternoon, got waited on by a nice saleslady, and got you a pair. They look good, they seem to fit you okay, and you tolerated them reasonably well. Now all we need to do is get them vetted by both your PT and the therapists at Stones!

Love,
Dad
