Yesterday Anders was sitting on my lap while I checked my e-mail, uploaded photos and talked on the phone. My camera was on the desk and he wanted to play with it so I thought I'd take a picture. Chris noticed that I was wearing my apron and mentioned that I looked a bit frazzled. I was a little. We had a busy fun day yesterday and before the picture was taken I was trying to get ONE thing done for the day. That ended up being the kitchen which had begun to look like a playroom/science experiment/office/farmers market/.... you get the picture. It was in need of a good scouring.
After getting the kitchen cleaned, we went out to buy Anders some new shoes in Uptown Whittier. There is an adorable children's store called "The Wishing Well" that has every cool and fun toy imaginable and some pretty cute clothes and shoes. Anders feet are really wide and he had started to complain about the tennis shoes that he wears everyday. They were a little big length wise but too narrow. The other pair of shoes that he owns have so many holes in them he might as well be wearing socks. So, I broke down and bought a fairly expensive pair of sandals made by "See Kai Run". They are super cute and seem wide enough.
After that we went to my parents house for dinner and a visit. When I told Anders we were going to Grandma and Grandpas house he said "bolf"? and then put his finger in his mouth to try to make a popping noise like my dad does to amuse him. Of course we had a great visit and the golf club was swung many times and there was a lot of "mouth popping".

That is so cute. I love the fixation with "bolf." He really knows what he likes. And of course dad popping his cheek is a big part of our lives. :-) Heidi and William

You might go online to see if you can buy him another pair the next size up for next time. I just got a pair online, with free shipping. I think it was from Shoes.com

Such an adorable little fella. We have had many See Kai Run shoes. Pricey, yes, but perfect for toddler feet. I always justified it by figuring there would be two kids wearing 'em. No pressure or anything :) Little did I realize that Willem would be so much smaller and wearing them a year after Nels did :)

Gigi. It is always nice to have you pop by my office or come by the house. It is great fun to see Anders each time. You and Chris are doing a wonderful job raising him. He is a happy boy! Love, Dad.
