Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 When my mother cared for a foster baby this summer my son asked us when that baby would have to have casts to fix his feet! Nothing wrong with his feet, but my son thought it was that routine for babies to wear casts. s. " that's my baby brother Owen and those are just his boots with the bar " ...as if EVERYONE must surely know that! LOL!
