Every so often I manage to get a random (and cute) picture of Allison that really shows the different things that make different ages and stages entertaining (and challenging). These pictures were from a recent Sunday. She's wearing a sun hat. We've been encouraging her to since she sometimes gets rashes from the sun / sun screen combination. She has her backpack on. She loves this back pack and would wear it everywhere if she could. If she doesn't have this backpack she has another bag (or several) in tow - most of which she wear slung across her chest like I wear my purse. She has a big smear of yogurt down the front of her dress demonstrating two things: (1) she likes to do everything herself including the tube yogurts from Panera and (2) we've entirely given up on bibs unless she's eating spaghetti. And those pink flip-flops (or 'slip-slops' in Allison-ese). She had the exact same shoes last year so I decided to go back to Famous Footwear to see if they had them again this year. They did. We bought a pair. She's worn them every possible moment since we purchased them. In the car on the way home from the store she wore the shoes. The entire way home she said 'I'm wearing my special shoes!' and 'I love my Special Shoes!' and 'Thank you Mommy for my special slip slops!' It warms a mother's heart, I tell you, even if the hard-plastic-loud-slapping-light-up-slip-slops are as obnoxious as they come!
