Steven loves socks. He uses them the way other kids would use a blankey--he carries them around for comfort and nuzzles them when he's tired. On occasion he has brought them to the grocery store when I can't get him to give them up before we leave, and I have been alerted by other shoppers when he's dropped them from the cart. I was trying to figure out when this started, and I'm not sure exactly but it must have been around the same time he started walking. We keep his socks in a little bin on the shelf of the changing table, and when I put him down on the floor of his bedroom he makes a beeline to the bin and picks out a pair (or two, or five). You may or may not have noticed socks in the pictures I have previously posted. I'm reposting a few, plus some new ones.
