[blparent] gifts

[Jennifer Massey]

toe walking can be a sign of a muscle or bone issue she would have it 
checked out, and her feet pointing in the wrong direction when she sits 
depending on what way they are pointing is called pigeon toed.  She should 
get it checked to make sure there isn't any other issues because the older 
she gets the harder it is to fix.  I toe walked and I'm pigeoned toed and 
because of it my joints are turned in at the knees because of it never being 
fixed.
