New Shoes

We went spring shoe shopping a few weeks ago for the kids. Yesterday was warm enough for Frankie to wear his new Cars sandals. He was SOOO excited! We took a walk last night and he was sitting in his carriage and he talked about his shoes the whole time; "new shoes", "cars", "piggies out", "light up?", "new shoes", "cars" . . . you get the idea. He was asking if they light up because his sneakers with a firetruck do. He wondered why these didn't, as well.
It was just fun to witness his excitement. Lizzy and I laughed while we walked, listening to how happy he was. Today he was just as excited to put them on again!

It just reminded me of happiness and remembering to be happy with little joys in life. A few joys in my life today;
warm sunshine
Frankie "mowing the lawn"
Listening to Lizzy read to Frankie
Getting appetizers with John
Wearing spring clothes

Maybe it's an Albinism thing. Our Timmy has the same fascination with his Lightning McQueen sneakers. Research study?

I probably just Pixar doing exactly what the hoped for. None the less it is very fun to watch the excitement shoes can bring.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for your comments! It is fun to watch their excitement. : )

How old is your Timmy? Thanks for reading, it is sometimes hard to get a lot of readership.
