New Shoes

On Thursday Emily got her first pair of shoes! We decided to get her a pair of sandals since it is summertime and she looks oh so cute! We went to a store that had been well recommended, but they were out of tiny size 4 sandals and weren't expecting to get more in. While we were in that store, though, Emily spotted another child with a balloon and she sat in her stroller pointing towards the balloon and kept saying "boon, boon." I told her that we would get a balloon after we got her shoes. She was so excited about the balloons that even though we didn't get any shoes from there, I had to ask for a balloon for her. She loved it and held on to part of the string the rest of the day that we were out. There was another children's shoe store a few stores down the street so they fortunately had a good pair of shoes in stock for Emily. She looks adorable in her little white sandals and is so proud of them. Even in the store when I had a pair of shoes in my hand she wanted them and put them towards her feet, she knew that they went there!

Emily has gotten used to the shoes very quickly and loves to put them on. Now that Emily has had the shoes for a few days, she has mastered the velcro on them and gets so excited to put them on her feet when it is time. Greg had better watch out, he might have a little girl who likes new shoes!
