Dancing Shoes

Maren's first pair of shoes were a pair of brown skidders with pink polka dots. These shoes are designed in the form of socks with rubber soles to make them easy to put on with just enough protection for the bottom of the kiddo's feet. I remember when I brought them home and showed them to Maren for the first time. She knew exactly what they were for and immediately plopped down on the floor, raised a foot in the air, and couldn't wait for me to put them on her feet. She was so proud. And her love of shoes continues. Last time grammy came to visit she brought 3 pairs of new shoes: kiddie converse (my favorite), white sandals, and pink shoes with big sparkles (ugh!). Of course Maren loves putting on those sparklers! She walks around the room half bent so she can keep an eye on her sparkling feet.
