Happy!
DS is officially over his milk allergy and is now 50th for weight and 75th
for height (tho given what ol' hollow legs eats I'm not surprised) - 2 months ago he was on 25th for weight! And today we got him his first pair of shoes - I believe nothing but socks or sunlight on children's feet until they want to walk outside in cold muddy conditions. So at 14 mths we have his first shoes. Blue ones as that is what his wise 2 3/4 years sister told me he wanted! love Clare -- Clare L |

Congratulations! Since your son DID have a milk allergy, keep alert for behavioral or health issues that crop up later in his life. Allergies occasionally manifest again but with different symptoms. Probably not an issue, but something to be alert for. As far as shoes go ... I hope he keeps them on! Mine learned how to remove them and would NOT keep them on until he learned how to tie them himself ...

Great news about the allergy being gone!
Good for you on the shoe thing! We have foot problems in my family, so I am a zealot about the no shoes thing with my kids because shoeless cultures have very low rates of foot deformities compared to shoed cultures. I luckily live in California, so my almost 4 year old has hardly ever worn anything but sandals that are adjustable at every part of the foot, and only those for going into stores and restaurants (no shoes, no service kind of thing).

We're totally the same way (my husband is a firm believer in bare feet in most circumstances, and I'm a convert)--I make sure feet are warm, but I only use socks or slippers until my kids are walking in mud, snow or on gravel (and DS doesn't mind walking barefoot on most gravels). I think DS was 13 or 14 months when we got his first shoes (at my mother's insistance!); it was a bittersweet moment. DD is still shoeless! -- Jodi SAHM to Oliver (2 years, 8 months) & Arwen (6 months) |

The shoe-fitter in the store told me she had had one young mum in with her
second or third child and even though the child wasn't even walking (not even close to doing it either) she had already bought him a pair of Nikes in one shop and then bought more from her. The shoe fitter tried to persuade the mum to buy soft pram shoes if she was to buy anything at but the daft mum wouldn't listen and bought more shoes. WHY.
