likes: books, hates: shoes.

Garrison is really into board books lately. I've started putting some in his crib for naps and this is what he likes to do before dozing off...


Saturday he got his first "big boy shoes." They're stride rite, because they were only $30 at nordstrom and Garrison didn't scream when I put them on (not too much). The shoe guy said he looked like he needed a wide. Goodness, his little feet maybe are a little bit "thick," but I'd never really thought of them as wide. We got him 5 wide. He got brown shoes. There just weren't any cool ones in black. There are thousands of cute girl shoes, but only a few shoes worthy of a hip little dude like Garrison. Anyway, he's still not walking, so he's not wearing them too much. But, he's wearing them a little while each day and it kind of makes him frustrated when he's crawling. He can't flip over to his stomach fast enough, because the feet get tangled. It's cute. Anyway, here he is in his spiffy new kicks.

g's new dr. seuss library

I am so excited that I scored these 20-some books on ebay. I loved them as a kid and still have one of my own collection. G's enjoyed that one (Did I ever tell you how lucky you are?), so I wanted to add some more to his collection of one and decided to see what ebay had to offer (I've had good luck buying lots of books on ebay in the past). My only criteria that needed to be met were that they be hardback and have the Lorax in the lot. Well, some nice person in Portland had these lovely books. They are in such great shape, almost no markings at all, and I got them for just 32 bucks. Such a steal. Anyway, I'm looking forward to reading time tomorrow. (BTW, there's one extra, I'll bring it down with us for Lu.)
