Snow Boots

Andy pulled snow boots out of the closet this morning.  One was his and the other was Jack's.  These are now 2 years old and I figured Andy would be in to Jack's boots this year and I would have to get Jack a new pair.  I mentioned that to Andy.  He was not a fan of the idea and squeezed his foot into his boot.  He then went and found the other boot and did the same.  He was very happy with himself and excited about his boots.  He declared that he would wear his boots everyday this Winter.  I note that he did not say all day every day because that simply didn't happen.  He took them off after a bit.  I had felt his toe in the boot and it is right up against the boot.  I can't imagine that is at all comfortable but the little man is determined.  It was one of those seens where perportions just aren't quite right.  His body was definitely too big for his little feet.  It is really quite amazing to look at these kids and see just how fast they are growing up.  Andy has always been a little smallish but he is starting to sprout up some.  I know, most people use a ruler, a pencil line and a door jam to measure growth.  Why mess with that kind of hassle when all you really need is a good pair of snow boots?  Next year I will simply cut the toe out of the boot and we'll determine his growth by how far out of the boot his toes stretch.  So grateful for Natty, Jack and Andy.  They are wonderful kids and truly keep me going.
