These shoes ROCK!!

I can't believe that I'm blogging two days in a row about a pair of shoes, but I tell ya -- these shoes seriously ROCK!! I can't believe what a big hit they are! They are adorable to look it, but when they squeak, it's hilarious!! I'll take a picture of them and post it.

Caleb has started "marching" just to make them squeak. He stands in place and moves his feet as fast and furious as his little legs will allow him. And then he stands there, as still as can be, throws his head back and lets out this huge belly laugh. LOVE THEM. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE SHOES. And, more than that, I love how happy they make Caleb.

Today Caleb and I went to preschool to pick up Katherine. The parents wait in line in the hallway until class is over and then pick up the little ones. There's 4 classes going on at the same time, so I don't know all of the moms... We got there a little earlier than normal, so Caleb, Big Bird and Cookie Monster (yes, they still go everywhere with us!!) and I waited in the hallway talking to the other moms. All of a sudden, he decided that he wanted to get down. He grabbed Big Bird in one hand, and Cookie in the other and took off running down the hallway. He was squeaking so loudly everyone could hear him -- I could see all the parents rubber neck to see what was causing the squeaking and when they realized it was his shoes, EVERYONE was laughing. These shoes are awesome!! When Caleb realized that everyone was laughing at him, he turned into a little performer, and started doing the "high step march". It was adorable! Like I said -- these shoes are definitely going down in the gift hall of fame!!

After preschool, we went back to the party supply store and got a good chunk of Katherine's birthday supplies. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, Katherine starts crowing about how this wasn't a good store.... We *settled* on an Ariel birthday party, which she's OK with. After all, she does get to wear a crown, so it can't be all bad!! She's so excited to turn 4 -- so at this point, that's all that matters. I just want to give her the party of her dreams, and since no one makes Little Einstein's, we had to come up with a back up plan. I'm sure it'll be fine, just not what she originally hoped for...
