Hi everybody!
The temperatures are still freezing every night but warming up a few degrees during the day, all the children are outside barefoot every day for short times but really looking forward to the time when the days are longer and sunnier, the ground is warmer, the gravel and sand of winter is cleaned up. There's not much snow left, just a bit of icy remains.
I just talked to my daughter. She noticed that her skin becomes rough around the heels due to the coldness and salt of winter. She's filing them smooth every evening and I just applied a rich foot cream, it feels good to massage it in. I can recommend this, doing nice things to your children's bare feet is a wonderful moment of parent and child together.
Remarkably during the summer when she was walking a lot more her soles weren't as rough. Just nicely smooth and tough leather that wouldn't even pick up much dirt but is easy to clean, the earth of garden work is easily washed off ... well those moments are coming and then I'll also join my children on their barefoot walks, for now I'm only barefoot indoors and wearing shoes outside.
The boys are going out barefoot as well, just because it's easy and practical. They'll enjoy it more when spring comes around ... we've still had a nice barefoot time in the garden when the sun came out and we enjoyed a hot tea together.
