No shoes, no shirt, no service

-
In the news a Burger King in Missouri asked a mom to leave the restaurant because her 6 month old daughter was not wearing shoes, which happens to be a health code violation. Okay - even for a non-walking 6 month old? Her feet were probably cleaner than her hands - or the employees hands for that matter. Apparently, Burger King assessed the situation and said that maybe the worker at the store took the 'no shoes' policy too far. The family was invited back for the royal treatment. Okay-

Around here Ivey hardly ever wears shoes. She hates them, even in the dead of winter. She is a little maverick who can escape any pair of shoes, no matter how tight they are fastened or double knotted they are. Ivey does wear AFO's but our time in them is not what our PT would ask for. For Ivey her feet are like her hands which act as her eyes. They let her 'see' her surrounding environment. I have never really had a problem with Ivey's 'no shoes' policy, except for the fact that I am missing the shoe frenzy that most moms get from buying shoes for their little girls. Oh well- let's just hope that no one starts applying the 'no shoes, no service' to Ivey any time soon.

Reagan never wears shoes either. I have a few pairs for her but it's really just for show and she rarely if ever wears them. She can't walk, so why would she wear shoes? My husband always comments about it when we are out and about...doesn't she have any shoes she can wear? Hopefully the day will come where we'll have to put shoes on her! I can hardly wait for that day!

Jacob absolutely refuses to wear shoes. He's 2 1/2 and has never worn shoes for more than 30 minutes in a row. He throws a fit and then sits completely still until they are taken off. Anytime you touch his feet or his legs while shoes are on, he cries. Hopefully we can get him over his fear/hatred of shoes by the time he walks and needs to wear them.

When Kouper was about 5 months old we took him to Fantastic Sams for a haircut. We got booted out because he was not wearing shoes. He had socks on for Pete's sake... and they don't even serve food there! He is not as talented as Miss Ivey at shoe removal, but there are many days that he wishes he was! He tries so hard, but usually gives in to the shoes :)

Thank you all so much for taking time to share this milestone with our family. It is so great that you all are a part of our lives just as Ivey is a part of yours. And yes, I will give our reason for going with green. As soon as I get all of the pictures downloaded I will post more. There are only 300 or so to choose from! If you haven't left Ivey a comment, please do. Someday when she is older she will marvel at the love and prayer that surrounds her - in all the moments of her life. gwen
