It's All In The Shoes

As you know, with Toots, all clothing must be either a costume or a sports uniform. I try my best to get him into normal cute clothing, but it us usually a battle I don't want to participate in.

So, the other day, we went to buy some new school shoes and he picked out some SKATE shoes.

He logically deduced- if you have skate shoes, you had better get on a

SKATEBOARD.

Mister Luke scrounged through our garage and geared this boy up to the max.

He got a little dirty

and learned some new moves

and took some spills

and his mother gasped loudly many times

and said many silent prayers

but Toots got up every time with no tears and

tried and tried again as the old saying goes

and the board slipped from under him and skated away from him and

taunted him with its rollerability

and he got up and told that board that he

would be the master

but that board was not to be taken easily and it soon knocked him down again

and we decided we had missed a spot of protection

perhaps some Charmin padding would be in order

next time because

this little four year old was now

DIRTY, SWEATY and TIRED

but, still feeling like one cool kid!
