Socks with sandals on my baby!!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I'm surrounded by relatives, including my own husband, who think it's OK that Matthew wear socks with sandals. How can people not know that this is just not right? Do they not read fashion pages of People magazine or listen to the jokes on talk radio or anything? It's one thing if you're in your 70's or 80's, but I don't want my baby starting off his life with these fashion faux-pas. He'll have enough to deal with in therapy without this on the list!
Sandals are for days when it's too hot to wear socks and regular shoes. If your feet need to breathe, that's what the cutouts in the sandals are for; they let in the breezes and cool off your feet. To put socks on is counterproductive. Plus the cutouts let the dirt in and get the socks dirty, and then I have to try to get those darn stains out.
Folks out there, I need your help. My husband and family need to see that it's not just me who thinks this is a no-no. Let's take a poll and see what the survey says. If indeed it looks like socks and sandals are OK, then I'll admit defeat and never speak of it again but I can't see this happening.
I look forward to your comments and to my victory on this subject!!! Ha ha!

I agree. Socks with sandals is just DUMB! You should have bare feet with sandals.

No! No! No! Socks with sandals is like being initiated into Loserville. We all know that Matthew is definitely NOT a resident of Loserville. He is the King of Cool and the King of Cool does not wear socks with sandals.

Socks AND sandals? What is this...the fifth dimension? I don't think there's a dimension out there where this is cool! Definitely not here.
(BTW, I'm a visitor from the Feb luv bugs board...our sons are born the same day. And they're both cute as buttons!)

I would NEVER wear sock with sandles. However my son is so cute that he can pull it off. Why do it in the first place? Well, when it's too hot for shoes and not quite hot enough for sandles.
I vote for: Socks + sandles = OK

Had to put your 2 cents in there huh? We already established what your position on this subject is. So far dear you're losing. Ha ha!

It IS me...Carpot! Glad you stop by our blog once in a while!
BTW, I have no real input in the poll above...we've got the kiddie pool (we actually bought it for our dog a couple of years ago - don't tell Ben!) and we're planning to use it tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes though!

OK OK socks with sandels are only ok if the house is a flaming inferno and you are currently wearing socks and they are the only shoes you can grab while you are running out the door for your life.
Asides from that the last time I checked us and our kids are not little old people drudging around the beaches in Florida waiting to die so socks with sandels are a HUGE NO NO!!!!!!

as for socks and sandals or swimming pools versus sprinklers -- you were brought up to think for yourself = not to allow others to tell you what to think
