Remember my post about Sensory Processing Disorder? Well, I’ve found a product that can help kids that have an aversion to the seams in socks. SmartKnitKIDS makes seamless socks!

We chose her Godparents because they aren’t very technical, in fact they just got a digital camera for the first time a few months ago! [...]
