Down with Socks! (aka project free the baby toes)

so conrad has been super grumpy the past 2 days & we haven't been able to figure out what the problem is. then this morning, totally by chance, i discovered what's been bugging the kid. i was going thru my "cranky for no reason" check list ( you know-- diaper issues, toe caught on string, etc) & took his feet out of his jammies & all of a sudden the smiles came out. literally the minute his toes were free. so i thought "hmmmm.... must be the jammies" & tried a longer pair. out come the grumps, as soon as the toes are covered. so i tried pants & socks. & once again, the socks hit the feet & the grumps came out. so conrad is officially a sockless child today. the man wants his toes to be free. he doesn't even want to chew them or anything. he's playing like usual, scooting around, talking to val, he just wants free-range toes.

of course, val seeing that con's toes are on the loose, wants to chew on them. sigh... so vally is now also a sockless boy so that he can chew on his own toes, rather than his brother's, should the need strike him.


& yeah, i know, the sandwich i mentioned below is healthy (so sue me!!!) but it's also reeeeeeally good! don't let the "healthy" dissuade you from trying it!
