A conversation with my mom

On FB earlier this evening. We were talking about Laura's shoes (and how she has outgrown them already!)

Me: It's been way too hot for shoes anyway. And they hinder her scootching.

Mom: Oh... maybe you should put something on her feet! Scootching leads to crawling, leads to walking, leads to RUNNING... forget life as you know it!!

Me: haha, I know... but she's so proud of herself all the time. Who am I to ruin such self confidence?? I've spent my whole adult life trying to have one ounce of the confidence she has.

So I'm going to keep Laura barefoot. And I'm going to help her scootch. And sit up. And crawl. And walk. I might try to discourage the running... but I don't anticipate much success in that!
