Freedom

Saturday was DKs first brace free day. He now only has to wear the bar between his feet that you can see on the photographs below for 14 hours each day instead of the 23 hours that he has worn it up to now. To be honest it doesn't seem to have made a big difference to him yet, his didn't immediately start dancing or even crawling, if anything he seems a little unsettled by the extra dimension of uncertainty that had been added to his little life. Up to that point, there were some certainties in life that needed little or no consideration including where his feet were relative to one another. Suddenly that disappeared and now has to find some way to entertain his feet as well as being busy eating, banging stuff and requiring attention and entertainment.

DK is desperate to be able to move around under his own power but it will be a little while before he can manage it, in the meantime he seems to be doing a pretty good job of getting what he wants through the medium of banging and shouting...
