She is becoming a real lady, lover of shoes and all. In the past few days she has started to really try to put on my shoes. The custom here is to take your shoes off right as you enter the house, so she always sees us take shoes on and off right by the door. She first started to try my shoes on from there (the door area) and it was a little unstable (my shoes are about an inch and a half or so high). She ingeniously decided to pick them up and take them in between the ottoman and the couch so she could balance better while she did this, and it worked. David says, very humbly: 'she's a hair shy of genius.' :)
Check her out:
a first try, a little unstable
much better
ah ha! I did it.
more cuteness
this is her look of contemplation turned to sheer determination, our goal as parents is to guide this determination wisely, so she will use it wisely, not foolishly. What a task!
