Shoes

Anna loves shoes. She especially loves to put my sandals on and slide around the house in them. She's gotten pretty good at getting them on too. Last night she came sliding into the kitchen with each of them on the correct foot. She even tries to put her own shoes on, but they have straps that need to be fastened so she's not quite there yet. But she assists when I put her shoes on for her, and I catch her now again sitting and trying with all of her might to figure them out. I love to see the thought process going on even if she's not quite successful at the task at hand.

Another cool thing about shoes is that she can say 'shoe'. Not an easy sound that I thought she'd master very quickly but she's quite clear - no one has mistaken it for anything but 'shoe'.
