Joseph loves chalk... Three steep blocks from our place, there's a pocket park with a marvelous long concrete ledge that is the perfect toddler height. Joseph leaves his art all along it, and after a shower, it's ready for more! Pausing to look for airplanes overhead. I bought these lovely artisanal leather shoes for Joseph, which he loves because, hello, police cars. And he can rock bright red shoes. But I'm finding out that these shoes are terrible for wet pavement! No grip at all, and Joseph's feet get soaked. On the hunt for some flexible -- and waterproof -- toddler shoes.
