A morning at the office

Since Ben got his degree in Prosthetics and Orthotics, he has been commenting on how horrible Benson's feet are.  He has been pigeon-toed for a long time and he falls down all of the time.  I hate telling him not to run, because when he does he falls and gets hurt and cries and cries and cries {he isn't tough at all}.  He also has permanent scabs on his knees from falling all the time, so we decided to take him into Ben's work and have him evaluated to see if we should get him braces.
Ben sat down with his boss and they looked at Benson's feet.  He is pigeon-toed, he "W" sits, he has collapsed arches, and he is knock-kneed, which means his knees are always touching, even when he is standing. 
So what does all of this mean?  Basically Benson's feet are crazy messed up and so he gets to wear braces!  Lucky him!
What Benson and Reese were really excited about was visiting dad at work.  They had a blast running around the office and playing in everything they shouldn't be playing in.  After Benson was evaluated by Ben's boss, Ben got to make the molds of Benson's feet.  I honestly don't think Benson would let anyone else do this too him anyways.  It was really neat to watch what Ben does everyday and see how great he is at his profession.
It was a fun morning at the office and hopefully these braces fix Benson's crazy feet so he can run around and be the happy care-free little boy that he wants to be.
