Favorite Spica Journey Memory:

When my daughter first rolled over in her cast. I knew from that moment that nothing was going to hold her back!

Biggest Lesson Learned:

It's harder on us as parents than it is on the kiddo. We needed to stop stressing.

What Do You Wish You Knew:

What works for one family might not work for yours. I bought things we didn't use (poise pads didn't work for us).

Favorite Gear or Must Have Item:

An umbrella stroller worked perfect for us when going out and about. Stock up on moleskin and ducktape. We used a portable, foldable highchair for feeding.

Final Thoughts or Advice:

Take it one day at a time. Don't stress out too much. Go out with your child. Please don't stay inside just because you're afraid of people staring. Use the opportunity to teach.
