Shoes, Hanging Out with Dad, and Other Big Boy Things
So yesterday it was STILL raining so Bianca, Isaac, and I decided to drive into Boston. We planned on going to our favorite Burrito place--Anna's Taqueria, but the weather made it feel like a late fall day so we decided to get soup instead, from a previously linked place, the New England Soup Factory (a bowl of their chicken noodle, flavor-wise, is worth a pinky).
Despite the bustle inside the place, the cramped quarters, and the fact that he was apart from his mommy for, oh 5 whole minutes or so, he did very, very well. Not a peep, not a cry, nothing. He is a good kid.
After that Dad went to Stoddard's which is the oldest cutlery store in the US (founded in 1800, when Ohio was just 12 years old). It was a total bust, hence no link love. After that Mom wanted to go to her favorite baby store, Magic Beans (previously linked as well). There we got Isaac a pair of shoes. Why? I am not sure, apart from the fact that Bianca LOVES her some baby shoes. Here is a picture of iSaac in them:
Isaac also enjoyed his cute outfit that we bought at the Burlington Mall on Monday. Here it is:
It is not true camo, as the splotches are actually the silhouettes (did you know that word was named after someone?) of dinosaurs.
When we got home there was some horsing around, as Dad got Isaac all geared up, with Dad's favorite small flashlight and pocket knife (safety on, of course). The funny thing is that Woody, my grandfather, and Isaac's birthday buddy, introduced me to the idea of carrying a small pocket knife with you everyday. It turns out to be surprisingly handy, especially when a tiny flashlight is added to the mix. Little did I know that there was a cult of people out there doing the same thing and it had a name. Here he is, all ready to go:
Finally, Isaac decided to be a cool kid and lean up against the door jam all by himself. My hands are just outside of the frame, so he was never in actual danger, but still it makes him look a little older (not that we are trying to rush things).
