My Shoes are Faster
Andrew and Anna both got new shoes last night while waiting topick up pizza. They both are very happy with their newshoes, especially Anna. She picked a pair of shoes with laces onpurpose and had me teach her how to tie them last night.
Anna'sshoes are white sneakers with violet stripes on each side. Cute PowerPuff girl figures decorate the sides. She learned how to tie thecomplicated butterfly knot quickly to my surprise last night (as she isnot even four and a half yet), then practiced diligently by herself for5-6 times all by herself before going to bed.
Andrewpicked his new shoes all by himself and they were dark race carsneakers. They look really cool on him. He put them on in the storeand ran and jumped in the store and decided that they are the mostcomfortable and cool ones while I helped Anna pick hers. I was veryproud of him because he is pretty independant now and has good tastestoo.
This morning both kids wore their new shoes toschool. On our way back to the car after dropping Andrew, Anna ranahead of me and said: "Mommy, my shoes are much faster than yours!" Another parent that we just passed couldn't help commenting:"That issuch a cute statement!"
