WFMW – tights on my baby girl
By bella | February 20, 2008
Ok, this is probably the silliest WFMW post ever, but I was dressing my daughter yesterday and thought, “I should share this – it might be of help to SOMEone.” I may have been sleep deprived when I had that thought, but I’m going to post it anyway, just in case.
So, my baby girl (almost 11 months) likes to take her socks off – continually. We can’t get her to wear socks for ANYTHING. If she isn’t kicking them off, she’s pulling them off, (and then eating them). It’s a constant battle. Now, I’d be ok a good part of the time with letting her go barefoot, but it IS “winter” time here in Las Vegas, and it is occasionally too cool in the house for her to do that. SO, I finally had a lightbulb moment and started putting tights on her every day – not just on Sundays! She is a smart cookie, but she is not smart enough to unsnap her onsies and pull off those tights! Her feet stay covered (they are not quite as “warm” as cotton socks, but warm enough for VEGAS!), and Mama is happy, and even Granma is happy! 
It works for me!

What a great idea! I like it! My daughter is now 4, but I wish I had thought of this when she was still pulling off her socks! Thanks for sharing – my cousin is having her little girl tomorrow (C -section, since the baby is already 10 pounds they say!) and I will be sure to share this idea with her!

As long as you don’t tell anyone, I think I might just do this on Baby Ham. He eats his socks too. And here in the Frozen North where currently it’s negative 25 degrees, it is just not safe to go without!
Thanks.

Oh how I’d love to do this with the little boy I babysit for…but I doubt his parents would like it too much! He looses his socks within five minutes of being here!
