[blparent] Anklets with bells for toddlers

[Erin Rumer]

Yah, it just depends on the kid and their age.  My son has played with his
bells a little in the past and learned that if the bells come off he doesn't
get to run around at all.  This has made him love the bells and associates
them with freedom.

wow, that's a great idea. Bells on key rings. But I'm not so sure about the
Velcro buckle on the shoe but maybe the little loop in the back above the
heel would be a better placement so the toddler cannot and anyway take it
off
