A Tale of Black Shoes
My Graham likes shoes. He is currently a size 8, and all 5 pairs of shoes he owns were bought by my mom, either on super-sale or consignment. It really is nice having parents (both mine and Behn's) that buy my kids clothes! Anyway, Graham likes shoes, and he has his favorites. In order of his favorite: brown shoes, black velcro shoes, flip flops, gray shoes, sandals. I'd take a picture of them for you as a visual, but he's sleeping in his room right now. Not long ago, I pulled out his old blue Converse shoes that he used to wear when he was 1. They had been a gift from his Aunt Lydia and Uncle James. They are size 5's and he really, really wanted to wear them. Obviously they are much too small. Here is is wearing them when he was 15 months old...on a swing with cousin Lily. When Behn's parents came to visit last week, Graham was carrying around those blue shoes and wanted someone to try and stuff his feet in them. And what are grandfathers for, but to say...
