I have no idea why, but one person gave LIttle MPB 7 brand new pairs of baby shoes when he was born.  And, they are really good shoes – Bobux, Nike and Geox.  It was a great gift because we figured we wouldn’t need to buy shoes for Baby MPB for a few years.  7 pairs of shoes, in 7 different sizes seemed perfect.

Until, I forgot we were given them.  So, this weekend I went and bought Baby MPB more shoes because he is now walking almost all the time (which is beyond adorable and so much fun).  And of course, I let Baby MPB wear his new shoes to the mall play area and then home so he’d get used to walking in them.

Needless to say, when I got home Mr. MPB reminded me about the 7 boxes of shoes.  So, I went to Little MPB’s room to find the boxes, all the while thinking the new shoes aren’t a big deal, he’ll just have two pairs of size 5 shoes.  One for inside at daycare and the pair I just bought for outside.

It turns out 4 of the 7 pairs of shoes are size 5!!  He now has 5 pairs of size 5 shoes.  Ops!

So, as much as I hate to do it, I’m pretty sure I’ll be re-gifting some adorable baby shoes because I just don’t know think he needs 5 pairs of shoes at this age.

Oh, and to add to my crazy, he has 3 pairs of rain boots sitting on our kitchen table.  Although, this was done intentionally as we have no idea what size his feet will be this summer so we bought one of each size (5, 6, and 7) and we will just return the ones he doesn’t need (the store we bought them from doesn’t have a time limit on returns).

Much to Mr. MPB’s dismay, I think I may be giving Baby MPB my love of shoes at a very young age.

  1. The dog just puked all over the carpet.
  2. I’m sick again.  I had a few solid weeks of being healthy, it was bliss.  I miss being healthy.
  3. Little MPB is unhappy and crying unless he is right next to me.  If I leave the room, he cries.  If I try to sit on the couch, he climbs up and sits/jumps on me.  If I set him down, he cries until I pick him back up.  Mr. MPB just wont suffice.  This is attachment is new, I’ll admit part of me loves it.  But I’ll also admit it’s a tad bit overwhelming. Could it be tooth 16 is starting it’s slow and painful arrival?  Or maybe this is a result of an adjustment to daycare which is no longer going well.  He epically cries now, but we are hoping he gets used to it in short order.  All the other kids love it there and run in when they arrive in the morning, so we really do think it’s just a matter of time.
  4. This week is going to be crazy!!  It’s going to be tough on all of us.  First, it’s Little MPB’s first full week of daycare. Monday-Tuesday, I’m away overnight for work.  Thankfully I’m in a city with friends so I’m going to avoid a hotel stay by I’ll stay with them.  Wednesday Mr. MPB is away with work.  Friday-Saturday I’m in an all day course.
  5. Our cleaner quit, without any notice right before our bi-weekly scheduled clean.  I know, this is absolutely a first world problem.  But, I don’t even have the time to look for a cleaner, let alone actually clean.  So, we have a problem.  Needless to say, I think by the time we get through the week ahead of us our house is going to look like a tornado went through it.
  6. Winter has returned.  It’s snowing and it’s expected to be about 5F everyday this week. I’m so done with winter!
  7. I got my period.  Seriously, if I cannot have children the traditional way, why the heck do I have to have a monthly reminder of my infertility?
