All About Shoes

As I was making Melita breakfast this morning, she comes into the kitchen, takes off her diaper, and hands me her shoes to put on her. I guess this means we can be certain that she likes wearing shoes and the 'getting used to' period is over. I did oblige her by putting on her shoes
but only after I put her diaper back on her. I don't think it would have been good parenting to let her run around naked with only shoes on. I may be trash, but I don't live in a trailer!

So, suffice it to say the shoe shopping adventure was a success. I got her two pairs, a girly pair and a tough pair, at Kohl's for $4.99 each! The pair that she wanted to wear today and incidentally the ones she has been wearing for the last couple of days were hand me downs. They are super cute but Melita is starting to grow out of them. We might as well get some used out of them, right?

After the fashion shoe, Melita nestled onto the couch to watch Sunday morning cartoons with Elephant (her bestie of the moment) and eat snacks. So far my Sunday has been brilliant.
