The number of mennonite moustached nurses it took to hold her down: 3
The number of candies consumed during the process: 2
The number of pair of shoes I bought for her to celebrate: 1
The sheer joy of being freed from the dreaded cast: Priceless
And PS...
This is an appropriate granola baby restraining device. That is all.
Hey, I'm at dot-moms today. Care to visit and say hello? It'll be worth it, I promise.

Yay, finally she gets to wear cute shoes!!
Posted by: J's Mommy | April 28, 2006 at 01:26 PM
YEA!! She looks so happy to be out of the cast! (BTW---Grace has the SAME dress!)
Posted by: Jaime | April 28, 2006 at 07:25 AM
Thanks everyone! No running yet... but she's getting there. The doc said that she may regress a little since she's been relying on the cast, but she's seems to be adapting just fine.
I'm sure by the time I get home (I'm away alone for the weekend...). she'll be bouncing around like "old times..."
And welcome new folks! Nice to see you all.

Congrats on your daughter's new found freedom. May she have a future filled with long walks, flashy shoes, and no more casts!
Posted by: Redneck mommy | April 28, 2006 at 01:08 AM
She looks just like you. I'm glad she is free. I'm glad you are free, too!
Posted by: Kristi | April 28, 2006 at 12:50 AM
Yeay. She looks so happy. I bet you're happy too. I hope you bought a pair of shoes for yourself to celebrate the event. :-)
Posted by: Lisa B | April 27, 2006 at 11:32 PM
Congratulations! Has she been running around the house nonstop today?
Posted by: Chag | April 27, 2006 at 11:05 PM
Cute shoes! And she knows how to wear them!
Posted by: Andrea | April 27, 2006 at 10:21 PM
Late to visit today... hip-hip-hooray for cast-free legs and new shoes! (Or should that be leg-leg-hooray? Gah. Tired. Puns come out when tired. Sorry.)
Posted by: Her Bad Mother | April 27, 2006 at 09:35 PM
I wonder if those come in a 7 ... they're hot! Go Q, with your no-cast havin' self. :-)

I'm such a retard....
I saw the post on dot moms.... I'm an idiot. I'm now assuming that that was you posting over there on dotmoms.. I did not realize it was you. I am an idiot. Seriously. Slap me. SLAP ME! I'm tired and nauseous and I have an almost two year old trying to scale the wall.
Thank you..... drive through.
Posted by: Alyssa | April 27, 2006 at 07:35 PM
Hurrah!
Those shoes are sweet!
Well, I will say that from where I sit, the time in the cast seems to have flown by.
And now I'll duck while you toss something at me.
BTW, that dragonfly fabric on the bag hanging off the chair is the same fabric I reupholstered my dining room chairs in. It's like we were separated at birth. ;-)

Seriously, Kristen. You have the most beautiful child I have EVER seen.
I mean, she was a beautiful baby, but I had NO idead...and an early-blooming shoe whore to boot!!
Be still my heart. =)
Posted by: Hill | April 27, 2006 at 06:35 PM
I bet you're glad that chapter is over! Those Mary Janes are sweet.
Posted by: something blue | April 27, 2006 at 06:19 PM
Ohmygod I want those shoes.
Posted by: Jenny | April 27, 2006 at 06:01 PM
She's precious! And happy! YAY!
Great post on dot moms!!
Posted by: tracey | April 27, 2006 at 05:52 PM
Look at those adorable shoes!
You know, it's good that I never commented on the whole restraining device issue. Because then I would have brought up the fact that it's been done since the middle ages, when young children's outfit had long ribbons sewn to the back. They were often called reigns. Losing the "ribbons of childhood" meant being old enough to not need a leash.
Oh wait, I just mentioned it. Never mind. :)

Shoes for a cast? What a great trade!
Posted by: nonlineargirl | April 27, 2006 at 04:59 PM
Shoes are totally hip. I bet she can't wait to add to the collection.
Posted by: Carolyn | April 27, 2006 at 04:11 PM
And what a fabulous pair of shoes they are!
Posted by: chilihead2 | April 27, 2006 at 04:04 PM
So cool that she's out of the cast!
Posted by: Kristen | April 27, 2006 at 03:54 PM
Hooo-RaH!
Posted by: Dawn | April 27, 2006 at 03:42 PM
Hooray! She is so cute and looking really happy - I am sure your smile was just as big.
Great restraining device ... don't see so many controversial comments :)
Posted by: Sunshine Scribe | April 27, 2006 at 03:03 PM
Congrats to you and your cast-free babe!! (and new shoes, always something to celebrate!)
Posted by: Nancy | April 27, 2006 at 03:02 PM
YEAH! Free at last...love the shoes, too...oh and the "proper restraint" device. You really know how to make a point.
Posted by: Pattie | April 27, 2006 at 02:36 PM
Hmmm, haven't been here long enough to know about a cast. Very glad it's off though. Second pic is sooo funny.
Posted by: Melissa | April 27, 2006 at 02:24 PM
Love the photos and shoes! I'm glad her cast is off! Yay to both of you!
Posted by: Petite Mommy | April 27, 2006 at 01:25 PM
Oh happy day! I adore that picture of her. Very yoga!
Posted by: Lucinda | April 27, 2006 at 12:42 PM
She's absolutely adorable. Glad to here her cast is off.
Posted by: Undercover Angel | April 27, 2006 at 12:31 PM
Good grief, she's cute.
YAY for freedom!
Posted by: mama_tulip | April 27, 2006 at 12:25 PM
How fab would it be if they were really fur? LOL...
Oh the irony.
Posted by: Kristen | April 27, 2006 at 12:15 PM
Those shoes are rockin!
Posted by: krista | April 27, 2006 at 12:15 PM
A big YAY to your little girl for being cast-free! Those shoes were totally worth the mennonite moustached nurses, IMO :)
Posted by: laura | April 27, 2006 at 12:10 PM
Those are some fly shoes! So happy for you both.
Posted by: mayberry | April 27, 2006 at 12:04 PM
Shoes, pants, tights!!! Hurray!!!
Posted by: Izzy | April 27, 2006 at 12:04 PM
Glory, hallelujah, pass the shoes!
Posted by: Julie | April 27, 2006 at 11:39 AM
Pfft. She's advocating the death of fuzzy animals with her FUR SHOES!!!!! She's such a hippy granola poser. :P
Posted by: Cyndi | April 27, 2006 at 11:33 AM
HOORAY! She looks wonderful. How freeing for the both of you :)
Posted by: Rhonda | April 27, 2006 at 11:27 AM
