Baby Gets a New Pair of Shoes!

Ashton is almost off and running so it was time to get him his first real pair of shoes (at my favorite kid's shoe store - the Stride Rite outlet). To most, this seems like an ordinary picture in front of a shoe store, but to me, it's a memory. Ron took the same picture of me when we got Aiden his first pair of shoes. We are now entering what I consider to be the most physical stage of parenthood, which is when the child is 18-36 months old. It's pretty much constant running, chasing, falling down (kissing lots of boo boos) and physical exhaustion (me not him!). Until he's 3, I know I'll feel like I'm in a sprint which is actually a pretty accurate of this stage.
