Socks

Joe can really and truly pretty much dress himself now. He sometimes needs help ascertaining which side of a garment is the front, and will often need help turning the "fuzzy side" of the sock out, but otherwise, he can manage the whole operation himself. The ability to put his own socks on with ease is relatively new, and he seems pretty taken with it. Similarly, Clara has recently figured out that clothes can be taken on and off--and that she can do it! So she likes to take off her hat, and her socks. Putting them back on is much trickier. All she knows about the putting on bit at this point is that it's tricky, tricky business. But she's always keeping tabs on Joe, and since he's often putting things on, she wants a piece of that action, too. This morning, Joe found one of Julie's clean socks waiting to be folded and was sporting it like a thigh high. Clara promptly found one of Joe's socks and wore it the same way. By this time, Joe had moved on to two socks of his own, but Clara didn't seem to mind.
