I have to share this because I really think it's funny. My daughter has the craziest obsession with socks (and sometimes shoes)! She always wants socks on, which I can relate to because my feet are always cold! :) However, she loves changing her socks and has a select few pairs that are her favorites...and don't even think about putting on plain white socks. Honestly, she will take off her socks, go into her room and search for a new pair and then switch them...and this will take place several times a day, for no apparent reason at all! Her new favorite thing is to also put sandals on - with socks!
Leah is a very independent and strong-willed child. I really try to say "no" only when it's really necessary. Not that it's a free-for-all in our house, we do have limits and boundaries. I've decided that controlling this situation is really not necessary but boy does it frustrate me when she wants to wear pink and black polka dot socks with white dress shoes. Not that I am some incredible fashion expert- I am certainly not! I do, however, understand the concept of matching and choosing appropriate shoes for certain outfits! :) But, I have to ask myself if this is really worth the battle, and I just don't think it is (much to my disappointment).
Still, I can't help but think her obsession with socks and shoes (mostly socks) is a little funny. Why do her socks matter that much?
Does your child have an obsession with something that really surprises you?
