Shoes

Annabelle has discovered shoes!  She got a pair of Pink Sparkle Toms from a dear friend for her birthday and then Granjan bought her two more pairs while she was visiting.  Whenever Annabelle sees the shoes, she brings them to me, one at a time so she can shake her other hand, and says "eh, eh, eh, eh" which translated means, "put the shoes on now, please".  The "please" is actually my own addition, as her "eh, eh, eh, eh" is a demand.  She does not care if she has on footed pajams, is getting ready for a nap, or even has another pair of shoes on.  We had a three year old boy visiting and she, with some assistance, put his crocs on over her own shoes and was walking around the house.  Silly girl!  She will also bring me Jeremy's shoes and say the same, "eh, eh, eh, eh".  I put them on my feet and she seems satisfied enough.  She does not seem quite big enough to wear her shoes and his shoes.  A little more practice walking and I am sure she will be ready.  Jeremy is concerned about Annabelle's shoe obsession and is hoping it is just a phase and not something he has to fund for the next 17 years!
