Practice Walking

I took Seth and Violet to the Shark Reef today so that Seth could get some good practice walking. He is now permitted to walk on his own and resume normal activities as he is comfortable. He will crawl on both legs with no pain. When he walks he says his foot hurts. I'm assuming that is because he hasn't used it in 7weeks. He is walking with both legs using the walker and getting better each day. But he still puts weight on the walker when he's on his left leg. I'm going to give it a few days before I call his doctor and see if this could be normal or if he might need physical therapy. I am hoping and praying he improves on his own and SOON. He did seem to improve today with all that walking. Here are pictures from the Shark Reef.











Seth bought a 3 dollar fossil shark tooth to take home. Then on the drive home he lost one of his own front teeth. We compared how much bigger and sharper the shark tooth is.

P.S. We've been here a few times but this was the first time we took a moment and checked out the Mandalay Bay Hotel pool. It looks so fun! They have a lazy river and a wave pool. Wow! I didn't know they have a wave pool. I think it would be a fun vacation for the kids to spend one night in the hotel and then spend the whole next day swimming. I have big plans for traveling with the kids when they are older, but for now I'm all about keeping it simple and low stress. They're still so little. This would be so fun, but maybe Mandalay Bay is super expensive. I'll have to check it out.
