It is a step in the right direction ^ and imho, you have to start somewhere so why not with little Johnny/Janey? If this works (and I sure hope it does, my next guess will be that as long as they are mobile (i.e not in a wheelchair), little Johnny/Janey's grandparents will be next and then working it up the line leaving me, the orthopedic shoe ter'wrist as the last one but again, it's a start folks
