Sock Dance

I thought it was hard to keep Miss Ella's socks on before she could grab her own feet. Now I am thinking about duct taping them to her feet. Gray goes with everything and Ella would have custom made duct tape shoes, plus her socks would stay on. A win-win. Ella's socks and feet have always had a rocky relationship. Her socks and feet are like the boy and girl in one of those date movies, you just know they would be perfect for each other, if only they could realize it. As the weather is getting cooler, keeping socks on her feet has become a higher priority, just as being able to take socks off of her feet has become an Ella ability. I do agree with Ella and her feet, baby feet are sooo much cuter not in socks. And since Ella's toes are pretty agile, I sort of feel like I am covering up her other set of fingers. What if the reason we can not use our feet as well as our fingers, is because our parents have been blanketing them in socks, since we were just wee ones. I could be ruining my child's chance of playing the piano with her toes, or at the very least, buttering her bread with them. Who am I to stump a toe prodigy. Well, I will just have to talk to Drew about moving to a warmer climate. Somewhere, where feet can go unfettered and toes are able to reach their true potential. Poor socks, maybe I can use them to make some puppets.
