2019, our year of travels 😍

End January 2019, we left the UK to travel the world (yet again, against our ortho's blessing who, despite not having any suggestion to make regarding Jonas's knee/leg/gait, felt he needed to be seen regularly).

We climbed everything we could to give Jonas's clubfoot a good stretch, starting with the Eiffel Tower, the Great Wall of China, a few Japanese ancient gardens, waterfalls in Thailand, wandered about Melbourne in Australia, before finally making our way to Canada, where we've decided to settle down.

During this blessed time, life happened and Jonas turned 3.

He overpowered his brace and we kept losing screws. We first tried to glue and tape the thigh piece and the spiral together (the small Thai island we were on didn't have much to offer in the hardware department...), but eventually stopped using it altogether.

Though I was still worried about his leg/gait, one thing that brought me joy was to look at this perfect little foot: 

During that time, we used whatever we could to stretch his foot, a half-folded picnic table, slides, a big rock, etc.

And everything worked 😁
