Clod-Hopping Around

Owen has given the phrase "clod-hopping" a new definition. It seems Owen is obsessed with shoes. Not only his shoes, my shoes, Adam's shoes, everyone's shoes! Maybe it's because he knows that once he has shoes on he's either going for a car ride (a.k.a. "bye-bye", and errands), or, especially if Adam is home, Owen is going outside to "help" Adam with the yard work or just to play around.








Owen will have his sandles on from either just getting back or from just coming inside. The first thing he does is go to the basket of shoes, pull out Adam's shoes and put those on his feet, with his sandles still on. He's wearing 2 pairs of shoes! Or, the first thing in the morning after he's dressed and diaper is changed, he runs for the basket and pulls out a pair of Adam's shoes and puts them on his feet. He goes around the house the entire morning (until his nap) clod-hopping around. Then, what is the first thing he does when he gets up from his nap......yep, he finds the shoes again! So goes the day in the life of Mr. Clod-Hopper!

Adam said to him yesterday, "Hey, buddy why don't we just get you adult sized shoes. They'll last you a whole lot longer than your shoes." Ya know something...that ain't such a bad idea some days. Let me think about that one for a while.
