[blparent] Going on a Shoe Hunt

[Veronica Smith]

I am going to create a shoe basket and see if that works.  Thanks for the
idea.

Any time a child enters my house they take off their shoes, and put them in
the shoe basket. I have several friends who do the same thing. It is just
easier that way. If their feet are cold in the house they can where slippers
or socks.

That's right, a shoe hunt.  An endless one.  Sarah has gotten to where
she'll just take off her shoes and leave them where they land, even though
there's a place for them that she can reach just fine.  I try to remind her
to put her shoes away when I know she's taking them off, but I'm not always
around.  She sees me put my shoes back in the same place every time so I can
find them when I want them, and Dad has a place for his shoes, mostly so
they stay out of my way on the floor.  But anyway, then there's a frantic
shoe hunt when she has to be somewhere, like before school this morning, and
it usually turns into Dad getting exasperated and Mom trying to find the
shoes while Sarah goes on about some important but unrelated mission,
because we're in too much of a hurry to make her look for them.

Anybody else have this problem?  Any ideas?
