The cold weather is coming and open-toed shoes, sandals, and crocs just won't do. The Canadian company, Little Soles, offers up some sassy alternatives to your mama's Mary Janes ($45) that will have your daughter kicking off her current shoes. The bright-colored and bold-styled leather strap shoes come in traditional styles that offer strong foot support for growing feet and look terrific when paired with tights.

It's a fact of life: little girls love glittery shoes. We should all give thanks to Dorothy, and the high demand for all things twinkle toes, because they never go out of style.

J. Crew's Twinkle Italian ballet flats, on sale for $40, offer traditional glittery shoe appeal with a sturdy sole. I also love the inexpensive Sonoma life+style Flicker Ballet Flats, $14, for play dates and trips around town.

One Language or More?

In many bilingual families, parents make a conscience effort to teach their babes both languages. If one parent is proficient in one language and the other in another, it is normal for each one to talk to their tot solely in that tongue.

I try to chat in Spanish with my babe, but I'm not as diligent as I'd like to be. Luckily, her nanny is teaching it to her every day. And, at this age, she is soaking words up like a sponge.

Just the other day we were on a walk and she looked up at me and said, "Mano!" A little puzzled, I thought to myself, "Mano?" Then it hit me, "Hand! That means hand in Spanish!" So I reached down and her tiny palm met mine and off we went.

Will your child be bilingual?
