walkin' in momma's shoes

After a hard fall that caused bleeding toddler gums,

a scared momma...thinking said toddler would lose a tooth,

a short nap which ended in an inconsolable

still bleeding baby girl...we were both able

to calm down. A snuggle on the couch

with blankie and paci, a few bites of yogurt

and Daddy getting home surely helped.

So went last Sunday afternoon...ugh!

After she perked up, though, Makayla

literally went army crawling under my bed

to grab a pair of my old tennis shoes.

Not sure why they were there or

how she spied them, but they were

and she did...and she got them.

(sneakers, whatever, I call them all tennis shoes)

She kept trying to put them on her

feet and walk around,

and after the incident earlier that day

I thought it best just to help her

put the shoes on and hold her hands

while she walked back and forth

in the living room.

Let's relive the cuteness, shall we?

success, shoes on feet and she's up

(obviously up and on the move,

sorry for all the blur

from here on out)
