Socks on the Hands

One of the greatest things as a parent is going to the park and seeing your child slide down the slides and swing while laughing in excitement. Unfortunately, when you have a child with contact allergies that joy isn't possible without creative thinking.
We really wanted our little boy to enjoy what most children get to do for fun. So we figured lets try and cover him up mostly with long pants, closed toed shoes, a shirt and then...what? What to put on the hands of a 16 month old. We searched the Internet and stores for gloves that would fit our little guy. Gloves are not easy to find for little hands, especially in the summer. Our solution was to put little socks on his hands. The amazing thing is that he doesn't even mind having them on him. We only put them one when we are doing something fun where he needs them. It's been really liberating for our little one. We love the socks.
