Another foot miracle!

In preparing for the upcoming crazy hot months ahead, I'm trying to work Melody into any footwear that isn't socks and sneakers. She cries if her feet are not fully covered. I finally got her to walk around barefoot inside the house, but she's very hesitant to walk on the wood floors unless there's some good motivation. Mostly she stays on the few carpets we have and asks to be carried throughout the house (you can imagine how often that happens which is why she always has stinky sweaty feet from wearing socks and sneakers!)
Today, for the first time since they were purchased (about 2 months ago), I finally got her into her sandals. Granted she had socks on too, but all the prior attempts ended up in a screaming fit with her crying for "different shoes". She wore them the whole day, and actually liked them because they have lights in them. My plan is to keep putting the sandals on her with socks (so she'll look like an old man from the Bronx for a while), and then eventually taking the socks away. It may be a pipe dream, but I'll give it a try!
