Pabbi grew up seeing them in Reykjavik, Iceland.

Mamma Sass grew up seeing them in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Now our boy get to grow up seeing them too!

Silly Socks

Silly Socks,

Thank you for helping this mama not feel so bad about her son's appearance! Thank you for helping his high-waters be "shabby-chic" instead of "shabby-EEK!

Our sweet boy has several pairs of silly socks. Some are from his grandparents in Iceland, some are from holiday celebrations, and some from our new home town. It is fun to have silly socks to keep your feet warm. However, I have discovered a new use for them. They keep the eye from noticing how short one's pants have become. Lil' Monster has been having major growth spurts recently. He is growing right out of his pants. He started at less than the 0 percentile on growth charts when he came home - he's racing to catch up with his peer group.
Although he is growing taller he's still as lean as can be. Longer pants usually means wider waist - which doesn't stay on - so pants that fit with short length it is!

 
Silly Socks step in to help.
In fact, high-waters means more stage time for Silly Socks.

So ...........
Sock On!!!!!!!!
