The Belt

We had a belt made for Cyler that would offer a little compression, a little protection, and a lot of confidence.  He has worn one every day since he began walking.  Originally, we used a product called walking wings---it was a belt that fit around the chest and had handles.   He used that while he learned to walk.

Once he was walking more we took off the handles and moved the belt down to cover his O....and he was off.   He outgrew that and we had to think of something so we took the belt to a seamstress and asked if she could make something based on that basic design.

Above is what we ended up with.  We had her make several of them.   Occasionally, people would ask what the belt was for.  I would usually tell them it was his super hero belt.  So, we decided to put a super hero patch on it!

When we got home from the hospital the other day Cyler asked for his belt.  We told him that he didn't need it anymore.  He insisted that he did because he is able to run with it on.  So... we put it on him as lightly as we could.  Within a few minutes he wanted it off.  He hasn't mentioned it since.
