To make up for my lack of posting, I bring you these:
The first pair of big girl shoes. Believe me, the Olive already had lots of shoes, due to some adult in our household with a Visa card and Imelda-like tendencies. Those were all the soft-soled kind. This is the first pair of honest-to-goodness little kid shoes, for climbing up the slide, running precariously down uneven brick sidewalks, and jumping in mud puddles, and all the other things I can't believe she is big enough to do.
In order to soothe my soul, and ease the aforementioned boredom, laziness, malaise, ennui, I had to get these. Medical purposes, you know? Totally necessary.
Now, those are big girl shoes. I have to set a good example and raise this kid right.
