Squeaky Shoes

Have you seen (or heard) the toddlers shoes that squeak?  Seriously, it sounds like mice are being strangled every time your baby takes a step.  That's why I said my children would never have a pair.  And they haven't. Until today.  But I hold God responsible.

Helen's roly-poly foot requires a specialty baby shoe that runs about $35.  I've been scouting out resale shops, all local stores, outlets, even e-bay for a cheaper pair.  No luck.  Then today, Alan kept the kids while I ran by one of our resale stores.  There they were - her size and exactly the color and style I wanted for her!  What are the odds of finding exactly what I needed and wanted for $6.09?!  Little blessings like that make me smile.  So, I figure if God wants her shoes to squeak, who am I to argue? 

And, yes, she loves them.
