and Bentley is the proud owner of his first pair of "real" shoes! This would be wonderful if he felt happy about it, but I think proud is a stretch right now. I decided he needed some sandals for the upcoming trip to Florida and because it's finally getting warmer outside and I anticipate he'll want to play in the backyard while Matt gardens. The shopping experience was traumatic. It's now apparent to me that Bentley doesn't love shoes as much as I do - at least, not yet (to be honest he probably never will!). When we'd put a pair on his feet he would start to scream and stand very very still... he seems quite positive that walking in shoes is NOT something for him to try. Grandma bought him a pair of Spider Man shoes that have flashing lights in them. He was happy to hold and throw those shoes, as long as we didn't put them on his little feet. The theory is that if we let him play with them for a couple days he may become more comfortable with the idea of keeping them on his feet. We will see!
Bentley also had his 2nd haircut today. Of course, he was again traumatized by the event, despite my efforts to quiet the hysteria through offering chocolate chips. :-) He looks good though, and now we're just about ready for the big adventure in Florida!
