My favorite parts of winter: snow, fire, chili, wool socks, tartan blankets.
My least favorite parts of winter: toddler boot struggles. You know the kind, the pushing and pulling and sweating and re-lacing and re-velcroing, and the fleeting success when the inevitable sentence arrives: “Mom! Help! I gotta itch my toes right this second!!!!!!!!”
When I spotted these boots with a handy little elastic toggle (no! more! double! knots!), I all but rejoiced. Bee can put them on herself, tighten them over her socks and be out the door quicker than a flash.
Toddler boot struggles, begone. Pass the chili please.
