new kicks

M got some new kicks for fall. Wasn't planning on getting them for awhile since his feet have been growing like crazy, but he will need closed-toe shoes for our trip to IL. Got 2 pair...used a gift card that we've had for over a year...HOORAY!


edited2add: Anyone else have a kid who can't play alone? Get fingerpaints! Not. You would think...you would imagine that fingerpaints would do the trick. Not so. Instead of painting on his own, M shouts repeatedly from his chair "oval, oval!" because he wants to draw ovals on his paper. I give in, telling him that I will help him draw one oval and then it will be his turn to do it....then as I walk away he starts shouting letters of the alphabet for now he wants to write letters on his paper. Alright...time to find a new trick.

Love the shoes!! I just bought Grant 2 pairs too... that picture I did of his "bottom half" shows off his new kicks!! :)

Your pictures look better and better all the time. Are those all in manual? They are fab!

Funny on the fingerpainting. This little guy just wants to hang out with mama every second doesn't he!!!

cool kicks! we call 'em kicks, too, sometimes jude will say, "mama, i can't find my other kick." kick -- singular. cracks me up.

YES -- i did have a child who could never play alone. JUDE. but now that he has a sibling, they play together and i can use my time doing really important things like blog surfing! hee hee

Ohhh..those kickers are sweet! :)
Lauren was always entertained with a small bucket/tub of soapy water( I used baby shampoo ) with a few floaty toys, play dishes to wash/rinse, etc. On the floor with a towel its not too messy. In the winter I filled it with clean snow! Course it still requires an eagle eye nearby, but sometimes I could wash dishes myself OR (gasp) even read a short article!
Worth a try!
