Now in >summer I see many barefoot children of her age pushed >around in buggies but their parents often put shoes or >sandals on them as they get up to walk on their own, >that's not really necessary. She's not even in >kindergarten yet and already better at barefoot >walking than many shoe-wearers will become in their >life ... >Winter can indeed set a limit, we've limited her >barefoot time outside to a few minutes when it's snowy >and icy. When it's dry and the ground is warmed by the >sun she's doing fine even in winter, of course wrapped >up warmly from ankles up with only her bare feet >peeking out. >And I don't think her barefoot habit will change as >she grows to four and older.
