The battle of the shoes...

We've had many battles in the last ten months.  Jacob is finally understanding the word "no" and will actually (at times) turn around or stop doing what he's doing!  Of course, this is on a good, well-rested, not-sick day.  But we have a new battle these days.  The battle of shoes.  To begin with, our kid likes to be naked.  If he's cranky or tired, just strip him down and he finds new energy.  Yes, this is a bit weird.  Yes, it is only our child that is weird.  Not his parents.

So anyway, due to this fact, he hates shirts, pants, socks, diapers and of course, shoes. We are currently fighting the battle of shoes.  I think it's only a few more weeks (maybe months?) until he will actually be walking, so he needs to get used to these things!  The one thing daddy did that seemed to help was actually have Jacob walk outside.  Yesterday, I helped him climb the steps. 

But my favorite thing he does when he gets his shoes on is trying to take them off.  It is absolutely the cutest thing, as long as he doesn't actually pull them off.  He loves to try and pull them off or kick them off.  If it wasn't so torturous, I think I would laugh even more.

Now for him to learn to walk WITH shoes!
