Melody has an issue with her feet which I have talked about before. She will only wear socks and sneakers. Sometimes you can get a pair of dressier shoes on her if they look like sneakers. If she sees open toe shoes she says they are "broken". Lately she's been taking off her shoes and socks, but then refuses to walk because she doesn't like the way it feels on her feet. She's been this way since she was walking, so it's been a while. Well my friends, we have had a breakthrough!
My sister bought water shoes for Melody that seemed like they would be OK because they weren't all mesh, they had some squishy fabric instead. Well, I was trying on a bunch of shoes for her today to see which ones fit, and which ones didn't. She was not too happy with it, saying, "no Mommy no" with each new pair. I put on the water shoes and she says, "Oooh! Nice shoes!" And then she wore them for the rest of the morning.
Now, I would have been more than happy with that alone, but it gets even better. After wearing the water shoes for a while, she takes them off, then WALKS all over the house with bare feet! I could hardly believe my eyes. She spent the whole afternoon/evening with commando feet! Way to go Melly!
