Another reason I can’t wait for summer…

I have been noticing lately that Ella has this  obsessive realtionship with her socks.  She takes longer to put on a pair of socks (correctly) than she does to get dressed in general.  The "hem" (is that what they are called on socks?) has to be across her toes in a completely straight line with no bunching of any sock material that may otherwise interfer with the alignment of the sock on her foot.  If the sock just happens to shift during the course of the day Ella will immediately stop and, in a tone similar to that only of an injured puppy, she will shriek "MY SOOOCK!" and fall to the floor as though the evil sock has rendered her foot useless.  This happened the other day while we were getting out of the car at my grandmother's. Ella could barely make it up to the door between limping on her "good" foot and sobbing about her sock.  The same drama occurred while in Target...all  I can say is, I am looking forward to summer...flip-flops!
