Colette went to some garage sales on Thursday. She bought Lauren some new shoes. When Lauren saw them, she immediately knew they were shoes for her. Lauren has had shoes in the past, but they were just Robies, leather shoes with a soft leather sole. Not much fun for a little girl.
These shoes were little brown leather "dancing" shoes, I really don't know how else to describe them. One thing is for sure, she knew they were for her. She would go grab them, and attempt to put them on.
I put them on her before going to Costco on Friday night. She was so thrilled to be wearing them. She just kicked her legs while sitting in the cart going around the store. She kept looking at them, and touching them.
Today, after playing in the water table for a bit, we came in and I took Lauren out of her swimming suit and just put her in a diaper. She immediately crawled over to her shoes, picked them up, touched them to her toes and said "on!". I said do you want your shoes on? She said "On!". So I put them on and the attached picture is the result.
I tried to get a little film of Lauren and her new shoes, but shortly after I snapped this picture Brayton came over and started teasing her and all my opportunity for a short film quickly evaporated into fighting children.
Nonetheless, this picture is worth a thousand words.
