New shoes, new shoes!

These arrived in the post last night and a certain little boy was extremely disappointed that his baby sister was already sleeping so couldn't try them on! He loves his own new shoes and has worn them all day but this has been the only photo I have been able to get as they haven't stood still at all!

I wish I'd got some of him racing back along the road to encourage her along - not that she needed it - she walked half a mile to toddlers, pausing only to shake her head at me if I offered to pick her up or hold her hand! She's Miss Independence herself as soon as we leave the house - not quite the same story at home, though...(she writes, as said child attempts to tear her legs off because she can't decide whether to get up or down and won't stop shouting about it all...)
