Running Around

Over the last week or so each night as I am getting Addie ready for bed she has been running into her room, digging through her basket of shoes, and then running back to me carrying the selected pair of shoes for the night. She plops right down on my lap and will start trying to put them on herself. Most of the time she has chosen shoes that are still way too big for her, but the last couple of nights she has picked out a pair of blue and white nikes that finally fit her perfectly.

These tennis shoes used to be my little brother Jason's when he was a baby. And for the past ten years my mom has held onto them because she thought that they were too cute to give away. So, even though they are pretty boyish looking we have kept them in the basket knowing that someday she will fit into them.

It was just too cute watching Addison run around wearing tennis shoes for the first time. I know that I am imagining it, but she really looks like she is running a lot faster when she is wearing them. :)
