Jamie’s New Shoes

August 5, 2013 by Jennifer

Over the past few months, Jamie has been admiring a specific pair of shoes I have been wearing. The other day I decided to gift her with my shoes. As as soon as I gave them to her, she held them to her chest and hugged them. One of our caregivers, Debbie, asked Jamie if she thought the shoes would fit on her feet. Jamie immediately put the shoes on her feet. They didn’t quite fit, so she modified them by stretching the fabric. She then put them on her hands and made swooshing sounds with the shoes as she moved them across the floor. Jamie is so bright and is a source of amazement to us all!

(While these are not the shoes I gave her, I thought you’d appreciate a few photos of Jamie with her boots.)

I’d also like to thank you for donating items from our Christmas in July wish list. We were overwhelmed with the positive responses. In less than two days, YOU donated all of the items on our list! We are currently reorganizing our office, but we will be sure to post pictures of our office makeover shortly. Also, we apologize if you encountered problems shipping supplies to us. We have resolved the issue with Amazon.

    I wonder where her fascination with shoes came from? Myself NOT included but I understand it’s something most females enjoy collecting. 😀

    Somebody help me, I think I’m going to squeak myself to death with this girl! Yes, fashionista alright, and perhaps budding model? I mean look at those poses! Kate Moss you are not all that cute! 🙂 — at least, compared to Jamie!!
