SHOES.
Posted on March 16, 2010
Molly has replaced her long-time ball love affair with a shoe devotion. She wants shoes on as soon as she wakes in the mornings. At home, if you look up and Molly’s gone, don’t worry- she’s sifting through the ’shoe basket’ in the laundry room. The girl loves shoes. (And jewelry… but that’s another post entirely.) She keeps shoes on her feet unlike any baby I’ve ever seen. And if she happens to lose a shoe, NOTHING else can be accomplished until she gets the shoe back on her fat little foot.
And, it’s not just HER shoes that she loves; she is an equal opportunity shoe lover. I can tell whose shoes she’s wearing by listening to her coming my way. CLOP CLOP CLOP means she’s wearing Sal’s big shoes. SHUFFLE SHUFFLE SHUFFLE means she’s donned a pair of Jacob’s. (She doesn’t often wear mine. Hmmm. My shoe taste must be as bad as Sal has suggested if a baby that loves shoes usually shuns them. Or maybe I just put away my shoes rather than leave them scattered about like the boys here.
)
Anyway-
Here’s how I caught her the other day:

SO…….so…sooooooooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those are sheep skin by the way. Just had to get that in there.
That is precious! Haris wants to eat his shoes.
Soooo Cute!!! That does not get any easier by the way, Riley was the same way and now she owns more shoes than I do. She will choose shoes over a toy any day!
