First pair of walking shoes!

Shoes have finally appeared on this childs feet.  Finally.  Long past due!!  But, I have my own reasons for leaving her shoeless for so long that I stand behind, but the time has come.... for the most part.  The shoes were lost in the car a few times today, as they were immediately pulled off once we were driving by little Emily who's rather go barefoot.  But, when walking around she had no problems with them.  As soon as we arrived home though, she took them off.

Just like teaching a child to go in the potty when the time has arrived, I guess this will now be shoe training to keep shoes on when we're out in public.... or outside.  The wet season is right around the corner.

They're so cute.... a friend passed them on to her, and I'm sure soon enough she will have outgrown these.  Hopefully Emily will be the wonderful recipient of her friend, Kaitlynn, shoes. :)  If not, we'll be heading in to the store to get the next round of shoes :)

I wonder if she'll be a shoe lover too?  Both her sisters are crazy about shoes, especially sparkly, fancy, high heel ones!
