Shoe Shopping

Amber doesn't wear shoes.  She won't even keep her socks on most of the time.  Time for drastic measures: Nordstrom Shoe Department.  Sandi and Grandma took Amber to Nordstrom this morning for her first shoe shopping trip.  Sandi was a bit nervous as her least favorite activity is shoe shopping - how would her own daughter (who hates wearing shoes) react?  Turns out, quite well.

Amber chose silver 'Mary-Janes' with a velcro strap, no heal, just flats.

Isn't this shoe cute?

 

She was proud to show me her new shoes and loved walking around the house with them this evening.

Side note: I asked Sandi to send me a photo of Amber whenever she wears a dress - makes my heart melt at work.

Testing out gravity

Amber was testing out gravity using two balls. Turns out, if you drop them at the same time, they hit the ground at the same time.

Helping with Groceries

We made a grocery shopping trip Sunday evening.  Amber did quite well considering she was both wet and hungry, though she did sound like a siren through the store towards the end.  Amber and I went to find pesto while Sandi was looking at olives.  Sandi just followed the sound of Amber yelling to find us.  Fortunately, everyone at the store was in good humor (probably glad she wasn't crying or mad).

We got home and began unpacking our grocery bags.  Amber loves helping and quickly began unpack the bag on the floor.
