Yes, he's barefoot.  No, he refuses to wear shoes outside, unless it is winter.  Even then he will try to sneak out without shoes.  Its okay.

This is "real" living.  This is not going to a grocery store this is dinner in your back yard. This is a little boy who decided he wanted Mom's fried okra, more than a bowl of homemade ice cream, or microwaved dinner.

Isn't it sad that you have to hesitate before you post a photo of a child using a knife in a garden, for fear in this nanny state of a nation?   Sad indeed.  Let your kids go barefoot.  Let them kill bugs and go outside and get dirty.
