It appears that Megan's feet/leg/walking issues could've been due to her shoes being too small and hurting her feet. When she got new shoes last Monday she immediately started doing better. It took her a few days to work back up to her normal self. Then on Wednesday night her other pair of new shoes (ones with laces) finally arrived. They were 1/2 size bigger than they were supposed to be. We decided to try them on her and see how she did with them and what a fun test it proved to be. She wouldn't sit down - she was standing still for long periods of time and was walking perfectly. At one point she even almost ran to get me when I had the iPad. She walked up the stairs alternating feet with each step. It was a really fun night.
She now has even more stability barefoot. Tonight she was standing still for quite a while and wasn't over pronated at all.
She has continued to verbalize a lot. Thanks to removing her iron supplement she is back to getting enough sleep and she is so happy. A few days ago I told Sam to go brush his teeth and then Will told Megan to go upstairs for her bath and she went to her talker and said "need, toothbrush". It was incredible. I have only modeled that once or twice and a long time ago. She also told me "want nap" the other day when she was really tired. It is so great to watch her communicate more each day.
Today at school she correctly identified several colors and pictures for her teacher.
