Sock Crazy

Natalie is a girl of many 'quirks'. Some have called her finicky, some have called her particular, only I as her mother can call her what she really is: exacting, thorough, meticulous, (can you tell I used a thesaurus) scrupulous, fussy... OK there's no way around it, she's completely anal. She is the daughter of two engineers. She had no chance really.

Her latest obsession is socks. She puts them on and off nearly a hundred (I may be exaggerating but only slightly) times a day. They must be pulled up as far as they will go, be aligned perfectly, and have no 'fuzzies' inside of them. If anything goes wrong or they slouch down even slightly, both socks and shoes must come off and we start all over. She also likes everyone to be able to see her socks; so if she is wearing long pants she pulls them up so the socks are visible. The only thing she doesn't care about is if the socks match. This girl is lots of fun, and so very two.

Here she is at ice skating lessons. Her legs were freezing but she didn't care.






These are long pants. Think she has them high enough?
