Shoe Fetish and a New Toy

Our girl has what one might generously call an affinity for footwear - or what you could also call a shoe fetish.

She is particularly transfixed by Mommy's shoes, but Daddy's slippers (which are as big as she is) will do in a pinch as well.

Here's some action footage of Madeleine turning Daddy's shoes into a toy. Every toy gets a few shakes, a couple of chews, a few more shakes, and then a throw.

Madeleine also loves the shiny red ball that's on loan from her friend Adelaide. Given Madeleine's facial expression after Daddy bounces the ball to her, I have a feeling that we might have to purchase one. She also loves rolling the plastic balls at one of her new favorite places, JW Tumbles.
