Today I was grateful for my Mama's instinct. You Mom's know what I'm talking about. That "thing" inside of you that sounds like a warning bell or waves like a red flag and alerts you to something about your child. Well my bell rang and the flag waved about a month ago while watching of all things an infomercial on some shoe inserts. (Don't ask me why we were watching this infomercial but somehow the hub landed on it while flipping through channels and we just stayed there!) This infomercial made me take heed to the "thing" in me that said I needed to get my youngest redhead's feet checked. So I heeded and today we went to the Pediatric Orthopedic Doc. And I am so grateful we did. I am so grateful for that instinct I had because it turns out she does need so correction and had I not brought her in now and we waited "x" number of years she would have knee pain and probably need knee replacements! But since I heeded the Mama's instinct all she needs are some arch inserts and some PT that includes roller skating! She's thrilled and relieved there is no surgery, as am I. And I am immensely grateful for my Mama's instinct.
