knee socks




It truly is amazing what you do as a mom and how your view of life does a complete turn-about. Back when I was a little girl there was nothing worse than having to wear long knee socks. I remember the stress of trying to convince you mom, that it would be ok to wear ankle socks to school even in the middle of winter with the wind whipping my skirt around and the 10 degree weather turning my legs into icicles. Of course I never won (after all you had school rules on your side). I remember pulling into the school parking lot and trying to figure out the best way and time to push them down without you seeing me and without my friends seeing me with them up. If I wait until just before I go in the door maybe you will be driving away already and won't notice? I don't know if you ever did or not but it was a source of great stress for my little life. Now I think they are the cutest thing ever. I just got M a new pair of pink ones and thankfully she hasn't decided yet that they are out of style. They look so cute on her.
