Appreciating the Simple Things
…Like being able to put your own boots on.
You've got to start by actually getting a'hold of the darn thing...
This is something I took for granted until I had kids.
Then you've got to get it over your foot...
Kids who love boots.
If you move to fast, the boot tends to fly off to the side and youv'e got to start all over again...
Kids who love boots and who are sticklers for realism.
Then there's the pulling...
‘Cause in this house we don’t do boots with zippers. We don’t do boots with soft, fuzzy insides that don’t require socks.
And stomping...
We don’t do boots with soft, squishy outsides that slip on and off.
And pushing...
We only do boots that look, and smell, and feel like Daddy’s.
Then you've gotta adjust your pant legs...
And the day I don’t hear “Mama! Help! Peeease!” Followed by a frantic, “Wait f’me! Wait f’me! Wait f’meeee!”
Then you sit down and start all over for #2!
That is a day we mark in our baby books.
Sooo cute!
I thought so too–I just kept snapping pictures. Keeping my camera in my hand has made me open my eyes to our daily life so much more!
Oh my goodness!!! I loved this!!! My 3 yo wore his boots all summer!!! People looked at me strange when he would wear the boots with shorts – he loved them and I did too…
He loved them because they were like Daddy’s and I loved them because I didn’t have to tie anything!
We could just grab them and out the door we went!
I’m hopping over from iFellowship! Thanks for making me smile today with this post!
Thanks for stopping by! It took him long enough that I got about 57 pictures, but he was off and running as soon as he could.
so cute!! my 2 year old loves her rain boots and would wear them to bed if I let her 🙂 and yes, I too will be happy (and a bit sad) when she can get them on all by herself!! visiting from i-fellowship – have a blessed day!
