Question and cold weather vent

stever · November 2010

It's been asked on the age boards and here as well, but seriously... how the heck to you keep LO from removing their shoes and socks?

M does fine keeping them on if he's walking/running around, but his shoes and socks come off as soon as he's sitting in my lap/in his stroller.

We don't live in the Arctic or anything, but it's chilly out! How do I keep his little feet warm?

Suggestions?

Shoes that have laces and double tie them.

Good question! We have the same problem. Someone suggested to me that I pin S's socks to her pants. I haven't tried it yet, but that is my next step.

Have you tried knee high socks? That under jeans might keep the socks on, ditto the laces/double knots.

Feck! I was hoping to avoid laces until he was older, but that makes total sense. Thanks girls!

This may sound dumb?and I have this issue too?but I've been telling Aaron that he can't be outside without shoes. That it's a rule. I keep saying that and putting his shoes back on if he takes them off.

It's starting to work. But also I bought him new Robeez, which stay on pretty well. His "real" shoes has velcro and he can get them off in a flash. He much prefers to be barefoot.
