My boys are camping tonight and Maddie and I had a low-key evening. Because of Maddux's injury, I am covering her whole hand with a Publix bag during meals and bath time (which only consists of about one inch of water). This reminds me of when Eli was a baby and still had his casts on. Bath-time for him in those weeks was very similar. We would place a towel in the bathtub and fill the tub with just enough warm water to cover the towel. Then we would tie plastic bags around each of his legs and lie him on top of the towel. His 'bath' was more of a shower by way of a cup pouring water over his body. Such a long, long time ago. But of course it prompted some memories, and I ended up back in 'the archives', looking at old pictures and watching old videos. Below is the same video I've had on youtube for years now; the video and pictures of Eli's progress have been used in Dr. Ponseti's famous office (Eli cameo at 4:05) as well as in presentations on clubfeet.

Such a sweet kid with a great personality. He did great with his "ordeal" of dealing with casts and special shoes! It helps to have such positive and dedicated parents, too!
