Abbie has a thing about shoes. Whenever we have friends or cousins over to play or visit, she sizes them up quickly to decide if they are worth a little effort. Then she picks the right time to make her move. (Like when they decide to take off their shoes to jump on the tramp or play in the sandbox.) Then she quietly descends on the forgotten treasures... flip flops, high heels, cowgirl boots, sparkly sandals, light-ups,... If they strap or tie to feet in any way, they are game. This has been the case from the beginning. High heels are by far the most sought after. I have been given a lesson in how to categorize them... If they make a "click" when you walk on the hardwood, they qualify. (This excludes clogs and thick soled shoes that clomp instead of click.) Occasionally we have to test them out on the floor before they can be donned for the day.
Yesterday we came home to find a pair of hand me down shoes at our door for her. She came running in to show Gary with the words..." DAD, THESE ARE FRICKIN RETARTED COOL SHOES!"
I guess they qualified!

My almost 2 year old is already a big shoe fanatic also! It is so funny watch how aware she is of her shoes. She used to be that way about clothes too, but lately since summer started she would prefer to just be in a diaper. It is a battle everyday except Sunday. She loves to wear her Sunday dresses :-)
Angie, That is really funny. Isnt it funny what kids say and what they like or dislike. I miss you guys!
