My 3 yo granddaughter takes off her shoes and socks the minute she gets in the car or as soon as she hits the door to her house. Luckily, my daughter got her to stop stripping entirely at about 2 1/2.
I love her with every fiber of my being, but that kid has a horrible temper! The tantrums she throws are epic. One day when she was here she had a meltdown and started kicking my closet doors. I pointed my finger at her and said in my harshest Big Mama voice that she better not do that again. She touched her foot to the door to see how far she could push me. I popped her on the top of her foot and she screamed like I had just murdered her. Then she began to toss herself all over the floor and onto the bed. I swear as I sit here that she was able to levitate into the air and do a 360 turn during that fit! I had to leave the room and the rest of the correction up to my daughter because I was laughing so hard.
