Cow Boots

About a week ago Sofia developed a 'need' to wear her cow boots everywhere we go! We bought the boots, which are still pretty big on her in the Spring so we could stomp around our neighborhood's pond and look for frogs. At that time the boots were so big that she could hardly walk in them. Now, she's discovered them and wants to wear them all the time - including in the house. She not only wants to wear them but she wants to put them on and take them off herself. She's getting pretty decent at getting them on by pulling on the two tug handles, but if I so much as walk in her direction when she's putting them on, she says loudly "SOFI DO IT!!" Just in the past 2-3 weeks most things are "Sofi do it" including up and down stairs, drinking out of a big girl cup, putting on her clothes (which is quite funny). She will try to put on a top of hers and after a minute of trying she'll toss it aside and say "Too big."

The first day of cow boot discovery - she had to use the wall to steady herself before she got the hang of walking - now she walks in them like a pro!


Love that pigeon toe look - yep, that's a trait from me unfortunately.


Our girl on the way to sushi - I took her to sushi while CK was in St. Louis for work - she LOVES the California roll, the egg (which she calls "cheese" and miso soup.


Eating breakfast with the cow boots the next morning....


On our way to tumbling class - she had many, many admirers of her shoe choice.


After tumbling we walk to a nearby park for a little playtime -coffee and newspaper for me. She does take them off and puts on her sandals once at the park's play structure.
