We got a polite yet firm note from daycare today; it explained that we will be required to bring Abby with different shoes. It seems that the ones she has come off too easily. The problem: that kid loves to take her shoes off, which is strange, since she loves also having her shoes on. That's the thing with kids...no logic at all. Her shoe-taking-off skills have progressed now to a stage where she can do it with just her feet, which is kinda rad because it's such an adult way to take your shoes off. Good for her!
She is also quite adept at taking de-socking her feet in the exact same manner. None of this is new for us, of course. For many months now we've been watching shoes and socks come out from under the stroller we're using to walk the girls around the mall of america.
I had hoped that the advent of her walking would squelch this innate desire of hers to wrest her feet from cobbled confinement. She prefers to walk in shoes, so it would stand to reason that she would want to leave them on. As it happens, the opposite is true: she's started taking them off more regularly.
I'm not sure exactly how new shoes are going to help. The wee little sneaks she's got right now fit perfectly and brandish three whole velcro straps. I can still take them off without undoing to straps (that's her method as well), so I'm not sure if new shoes will help. This might be a really interesting way to get booted from day care...
Lily and her shoes are a-okay. Whew.
Day two hundred and twenty one.
We've gotten the pacifier usage to just for bed time. I'm happy with that.
