My First Big-Boy Shoes

A video is worth a thousand pictures at this point in my life.

Here I am last week (Aug. 12), clumping around in my first pair of hard-soled shoes. Up until then I'd worn nothing but flexible leather slippers (Robeez, made in Vancouver, BC, are my favorite brand), but we had some rain last week and discovered they don't keep out the wet at all. So Mom unearthed a pair of Merrells that Grannie found at a yard sale a while back (they look just like the slip-on shoes Dad keeps by the door, so of course I like them). Mom thought were too big for me, but they fit, in a fashion.

Here's 12 seconds of sheer momentum, carrying me across the floor. Now I can go off-road!
