Re: fighting to not let naomi wear her boots...

[Guest guest]

Hi Maureen,

How are you and how is that little girl of yours? I remember not too

long ago when both Grace and her were just chubby babies, goes by so

fast! Will ya post a pic to the cfpics site of Naomi, bet she's getting

big.

Just a thought here, have you thought to let her wear a pair of her fav

shoes to bed for her nap? You'd probably want to wash the bottoms with

a bleach cloth or somethin first though. Grace is also obsessed with

shoes already at a year and a half =)

Hope you are all doin well and nice to hear from you!!

& Grace

Have you tried putting on only the shoes without the bar attached? Or

how about a pair of slippers or regular shoes?

thanks michelle! i will definitely try that... today, i put her down

with them on, she fell asleep but woke up as soon as i took the boots

off. finally got her to sleep again by holding her feet as though she

was in the brace and that seemed to work quite well...

naomi has been bitten by the same bug as grace... high heels are her new

thing...

and i still have my referral to dr. pirani and if noms' ligaments don't

start getting 'tighter' i think we'll be heading out west to have him

check it out so maybe this summer our 'babies' can meet...

Same things I was gonna suggest. Not always easy with kids this young but could

you some how fool her by taking her shopping for a new pair of Nappie-Time

shoes? Like use them if she insists but don't push or insist on them.

Mean while you can tell me how you still manage to get her to take naps! lol My

Everett has recently banned the whole idea.
