1. why doesn't anybody carry the size of shoe that is just between a child's and women's shoe size for young girls. nobody has the right shoe size for ocean. nobody. not even croc. it is either size 3/4 in children's or 6 in women's....where's the 5? she's feeling shoe challenged. she doesn't like to shop for shoes in the first place and especially not when we can't find the right size. this is difficult.

2. i really love love love ingrid michaelson's 'the way i am' song. have you heard it? isn't it sweet.

3. the beach is so relaxing. and also, why do so many people cart so much stuff there, when the water and sand is really enough.

4. i don't like that i feel so uncomfortable when strangers come knocking on our door. they just need directions [or a place to sleep]. i wish i didn't feel so vulnerable.

5. the library is so great.

6. bartering and trade is so fun. i get to make some pants so my kids can go to a really cool class.

7. phoenix wants to go to dance class. she also wants her hair in a ponytail almost every day. she fits into some of elli's clothes. my baby is growing up. [i think i say that in every post i write]

8. i don't think i've been thinking about much else. :)

  2. 1. Just stick some toilet paper in the toe. She'll get used to it.
    2. Don't know the song, guess I'll have to check it out.
    3. I agree. You need to talk to Shawn about this one. I'm always trying to get him to bring less "stuff" on outings.
    4. What about a sign next to your door directing folks to the office (or you can always pack heat in your back pocket).
    5. I love the library too, I just got back with the girls (we checked out 15 books!)
    5. I would love to barter something someday. Hmmm anyone up for a sensory profile? (; I'll give you a big hug (and smooch if you want it) if you make me something.
    6. Hard to believe. Sweet little peanut.
    7. Don't, you might hurt yourself! (love ya!)

  3. april. i don't know what the euro size would be....good idea. she is very sensory sensitive when it comes to her shoes...i neglected to mention she is fairly particular, so that hand in hand with the unique size = challenging. we just need to find a good shoe to tromp around in the muck and woods...i'll keep searching.

    katie:
    1. we tried that. i need to brush her before to desensitize her.
    2. i should make you mix. send me a brush. i'll make you a mix.
    3. next time he picks up the phone i'll mention it. really. the sand and water is enough.
    4. good idea. i will make a sign. packing heat. violence never solves problems. come on katie you know that.
    5. i think we have 50 something checked out right now. love it.
    6. see number two.
    7. um. i don't have anything to say.
    8. i should think more about my spelling. it is atroshious oh. i mean, atrocious :) (love you too. friend)
