#anFword: Shoe
I've decided I'm going to write a regular post, which will be a word (or phrase) that sums up the past week or so, and as I'll be deciding the word every Friday, I'll be calling it #anFword (a Friday word). It's a given that the F word will inevitably have been a part of my week at several points, so I will be really trying to come up with a different word. But, I give no assurances - there are no guarantees in motherhood, or life! Tee hee.
I'd love to know what word sums up this week, so let me know in the comments below.
This week #anFword that sums things up is shoe. These past weeks have been all about first words, first steps, new steps and stepping out in style. In fact, this post could also be called
What happens when your baby starts walking
Let me tell you why...
So much has changed in our world since my last updates and it's largely because one big thing has changed - B is properly walking, well mainly running like a mini Olympian, in his first proper shoes and he has been making sure he thoroughly gets his wear out of them! You can read the post on our experience buying them and our essential tips for buying baby's first shoes. They've tramped over pavements, through parks, alongside Meerkats, over my head. You name it, they've been there!
It's incredible how much things change once your little one starts moving and crawling, but walking is a huge shift. One thing you have to deal with is the sheer indignation your poppet will loudly express (through the mediums of expressive dance and yodelling), when you dare to confine them to the shackles of the pram! B's tolerance level for the pram diminishes weekly and has been for a while, so these days you are very likely to see me with a toddler on my side, pushing my bag in the pram as if it were royalty. Hah!
Yup, having a tiny walker opens up a whole new world of possibilities and a whole new set of challenges, but lots of joys for parents.
