My youngest daughter by three minutes has demanded to wear socks on her hands for the last three days. Yesterday when we got to church, she cried when I made her take them off. (What was a fashion-conscious mom supposed to do--they didn't match her outfit!) She wore two pairs of socks to bed last night--one on her feet and one on her hands. She gave me the biggest giggle when I put a pair on her hands after I put her in her crib.

Yes, we're almost 2 1/2 and still in cribs. That is about to change, though... I've been dreading the day.
