We had our first case of Spring Feet show up at bed time last night. It seems to be a seasonal condition that plagues the children beginning this time of year and ending sometime around the close of summer. Its symptoms are few, really just one tell-tale sign that can't be missed- feet that are a much darker shade than they started at the beginning of the day. The cause can be traced back to hours of play in the warming grass with feet happy to be encountering the coming of spring without the encumbrance of pesky socks and shoes. Thankfully the treatment is simple- add a squirt or two of liquid soap to a few inches of warm water in the bathtub, throw in any afflicted feet, wipe with a wet wash cloth, remove, dry with towel, and repeat as necessary. Which in this house will be nearly every evening for the next couple of months, but I can say this is one condition I don't mind treating at all!
First Grader working on a welcome sign for spring. Look closely and you can see Little One's socks sitting behind her in the driveway- Monday, March 12.
