velcro feels goooood on my gums

so, ever since i could walk, ma had made me wear these shoes called "bobux" because they are the only things that fit on my big ol' piggies. they are basically ballet slippers dressed up to look like real shoes. i like them fine and they stay on me feet good. well, ma decided that since i am in wet grass more now and in places where there is rocks and sharp things she decided it was time for me to have big boy shoes. so we went to stride rite where i got measured. turns out, my feet are so huge and so thick, i had a choice in the whole store between 2 shoes. well, really one shoe, but i had a choice between laces or velcro. i chose velcro because it tastes better. feels good on my gums. can't buy cheap shoes at target. don't think mom didn't try, either. can't wear ANY shoes from any normal store. nope. i'm a 5 EXTRA wide. so, i got some real sneaks and i walked pretty good in them and they are fine. mom said when she was little whenever she got new shoes, she thought they made her run faster. well, i can't run yet, and let's face it, she's a little strange, so y'know, let;s just wear the shoes and move on....

i had the best dinner. mom is finally perfecting her cheese sauce. the key is a LOT of pepper, mustard and only slightly cooked onions. then, she threw in a brick of tofu in with the cheese sauce and put it in the loud babyfood maker thing and mmmmm mmmmm mmmm. i wish she left that fattening broccoli out of my mac and cheese and tofu tho, man. i got a drop a few pounds in my feet! we both ate the same thiing for dinner. well, mom had a lot of cookies as well, but that broccoli was enough for me. but i digress. i mean, i perseverate. eh-hem.

dad wanted to know if i was doing anything new. i guess i am just perfecting some of the stuff i have been doing. i am trying to say more words. i like to try to say "hummus" and "lasagna" (yaYAya) and sometimes i try to imitate what mom says. and i sing. and i can almost climb on the couch by myself. of course, i am still really into sweeping and swiffering. mom hid the vacuum when she cought me kissing it. i bet if auntie laura asked one of her psychics we'd find out i was married to it in a past life. oh auntie---i tease.

well, i am pretty sure i have crap in my pants because i feel warm and squishy, so i think i will practice my running in my new shoes, while mom chases me.
