Accessories

Henslee's accessories!!

We have a love/hate relationship with most of her accessories. LOVE because they ALL help tremendously and HATE because the only accessory a 2 year old should have to wear is dress up jewelry. (which Henslee also loves to wear :)

 Little Chipmunks :) Or atleast that's what the little gray braces are called in her cute little shoes. They help shift her weight out from the inside of her feet to the outside so she is more stable when she walks.

Oh the beloved Arm Braces.. This is a pair that was on lone to us. These beauties are a life saver. They wrap around Henslee's arm and keep her from bending her arm. Which keeps her from tapping her face, Clapping and putting her hands in her mouth. Which she would do ALL day long if we let her.Yes that last pic is of the arm brace in the garbage. I know that was Nixon's doing but I am sure Henslee talked him into it :)

   The SPIO! When we say SPIO to Henslee we say it like on Mickey Mouse Club House when they call out for TOODLES :) Oh SSPPIIOO :) It is a compression vest that Henslee has worn underneath her clothes for the past year. It helps give her the sensory input that she lacks.

 So these are the "homemade" version of the Arm Braces. I am sorry but the cowboy theme did not match any of Henslee's outfits so here they are the new and improved Franks. Franks you may ask??? They are the new name for her arm braces. Jesse came up with Franks, it is short for Frankenstein because Henslee's arms are stiff just like Frankenstein :)

Oh the life saving leotard. :) If Henslee is not wearing her SPIO she has a leotard on. The last few months Henslee has decided that if she is not tapping her mouth she is sticking her hands into her diaper. Well for so many reasons we couldn't have her doing that we came up with this cute little leotard. It comes in pink and black and we just match it with her outfit of the day ;) Oh and the pics above crack me up, Henslee loves to be in her bed. Normally I don't let her in her bed unless she is sleeping but she was very persistent and how could I resist especially  since she was asking :)

Oh and my favorite accessory of all her beautiful little glasses. Ok to be honest sometimes I hate these little beauties. I wish there was a magic way to keep glasses on a 2 1/12 that has very busy hands.

Have you ever seen a 2.5 year old with such a non fun assortment of accessories :)
