When we went to the store today I picked up some new sandals for Solvei and Nels. This evening we went to dinner and I put the new sandals on them. Solvei was SO happy! Many times in the car and many more times in the diner she would tell Nate with a little giggle, “Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Kew shoe!”

Shoe fetish
Nels and Solvei love shoes. Before we got the shoe rack put up in the mud room the shoes would be in a pile in the corner, and whenever they got a chance Nels and/or Solvei would spread them all over the floor in the mud room and out into the hall, trying them on as they went. Now that the shoe rack is there they don’t get out all of the shoes every time, but their shoes rarely stay on the rack and sometimes others are not there as well. The other day when we had to go somewhere at a certain time I got everyone ready to go and then could only find one each of their shoes and neither of Gavin’s (I found the pairs to their shoes in the playroom but don’t know where Gavin’s shoes were found). They love to wear Saedi’s old crocs because they fit over footie pajamas and stay on because they’re light. The last few days, the shoes that have been carried around and tried-on most are Gavin’s rain boots.
This evening Solvei and Nels each got one of Gavin’s rain boots and are walking around the living room in them.
