Accessories: The Spice of Life

So, everyone insists toddler's need choices and Mason is asserting that himself lately.

The kid has discovered his shoe basket, and been insistent on picking out his shoes each morning this week. Yesterday was a gem. Nice little play-clothes outfit and his black leather penny loafers (see photo at right...different day, but same insistence on the shoes). He waltzed into daycare, where jazz music was playing, and commenced a little dance. I guess he knew he'd need the loafers...er, dancing shoes!

Today, it's 60 degrees outside. It's gray. It's hazy. It's overcast. It's rainy. Mason is wearing sunglasses. No less than five people giggled at him as he splashed through puddles in the half-block between our door and Melissa's, where, I might add, he continued to wear them inside.

Another gem: After coming home from daycare on Thursday night and trying on Mom's shoes. He was pretty successful walking down the hall in them, despite their humongous size compared to his feet!
