Shoes mean GO!

As we may have mentioned, Mae is now walking... everywhere! There's no holding her back! She seems to have learned that it's just the best way to get around.

It is amazing to see what she is learning, and how quickly. Today she taught us that putting on your shoes means it's time to go out. For the first part of the morning, she carried around Kirsten's flip-flops and kept throwing them down in front of either of us. We clearly didn't pick up on her meaning, so she finally toddled off in almost disgust muttering something... did it sound like "shoes! socks! shoes! socks!" She toddled off to a large bin we store eveyone's loose shoes and dug out her sneakers.

Here she is, still in her pj's, intent on wearing her little Seasame Street sneakers -- so we let her. She went around for an hour doing laps around the kitchen as happy as she could be... until it was naptime. But that's always another story.
