Alison got her brace this morning. So far, so good, I guess. It doesn't do anything for her as far as her intoeing goes (in fact I think it makes it worse) but it does help her pick her toes up when she walks, so that's good. She needs some knee socks and a new pair of tennis shoes (we had to rip the insole out of the one she has now to make room for the brace), but that shouldn't be a big deal.

Alison did real well the brace, but she really didn't like it. She cooperated fairly well when it was being fit and adjusted. I explained to her that it was going to be kind of like wearing a boot and she seemed to understand. I also kept repeating that it was her brace, so she'd know what it was. She only wore it for about an hour and a half this morning. When she was on the potty after lunch she started whining "Bracelet off. Bracelet off, " and trying to undo the velcro. I hope that longer sock will make things a little more comfortable for her and that it doesn't become a battle royale to get her to wear this thing. The good news is, it hasn't slowed her down in the least.
