Kevin's Shoes

These pictures are all very similar, but I just thought they were so cute! But, notice the sneakers...

Kevin has some Elmo slippers that he loves. They were Ellie's when she was his age, but she hated them. He will wear them all day, though! This morning, when I was getting him dressed (in cousin Mason's old PJs), I asked him if he wanted to wear his Elmo shoes. He said, "No... zsha, zsha, blah, hoo". I asked him again, and he gave a similar response. So, I decided socks would be enough.

Then, he climbed out of my lap, went to his closet and pointed to the shoe shelf, saying, "Blah, hoo, zswah, zooo." (Kevin language for I have something very important to say. You just don't understand me.) So, I picked him up. He pointed at a shoe he never wears. I gave it to him. He looked at it and said some more Kevin babble. So, I took it from him and put it up.

He then pointed at his sneakers and said more babble. So, I gave him his sneakers. He looked at them and said, "Ooooh, shwah boo shwa zo. Oooooh." So, I took them away to test if this is what he wanted. Then, he got very upset.

I gave him both sneakers and went to sit in the glider without saying anything. He walked over, climbed on my lap and gave me his shoes to put on!

I just thought it was a cute story because it shows that he is developing preferences about such things. So cute!
