Spiderman and swinging

Xavier had a huge growth spurt this summer (in height...he's still as skinny as ever ;-) and a couple of weeks ago, he had to be casted for new AFO's (ankle-foot orthotics, "braces" that go from his toes to his mid-calf). Each time he gets new ones (this is his 3rd pair) we get to pick a new pattern. This time, I let Ben pick, so Spiderman it was (obviously! duh!). "So we can be matching.", he said. Ben has Spiderman tennis shoes. I wasn't sure if they'd still fit him (he's been wearing his Crocs all summer). Ben's feet barely fit...so I know I'm going to have to spring for a new pair of Spidey shoes for the winter (I just can't resist how sweet it is that Ben wants to match his brother...) Ben wanted me to take the photo below, to showcase their "Spidey shoes". :-) Xavier's giggling, anticipating a hug from Bennett - The boys love each other so much...

Ben is super cute for wanting to match his big brother, such a sweetie.

I found your blog through the forum at Cure CMD and I just had to comment on the spidey AFOs...they are adorable! My son loves absolutely loves Spiderman, unfortunately he has boring plain white AFOs.
