    No idea but DD1 broke her arm last year and when people found out she fell off a trampoline (she was going out of the enclosure to get off and got bounced off) they started lecturing me about having something so dangerous in the yard *roll eyes* She took ages to use that arm again, she was afraid of the pain returning.

    She's still on a walking strike. It's so frustrating.

    poor chicken.

    do you a pool nearby with a toddler pool? she might feel more comfortable to start walking in water.

    Her leg probably feels a bit stiff after being in the cast for so long. She will eventually use it more and more. The physio will be able to help build up her strength.

    Nah, HotI we don't have anything like that.

    We've tried to get her to walk behind the push walker (saying things like "Look, DS can do it, so can you") but she just says "No. I no walk"

    She's getting frustrated with crawling but just won't walk. She has done a little bit of standing, giving herself lots of praise (us too) "YAY! I standing!"

    So, i know it'll come eventually, but it's so frustrating.
