In Her Shoes

So my photojournaling continues with this image from Saturday that really speaks for itself. Here, Lexie – never one to bore her parents by always taking the expected route – examines the eternal question, “Is there really a good reason why shoes should only be worn on feet?”

This silly little action captures a signature trait that I love in Lexie and really, most kids. They’re just so new to the world that the answer “because we’ve always done it that way” just isn’t enough for them. They want to learn for themselves.

Sure, it would be better if she would take our word on questions like, “Why can’t babies run into the street to get a closer look at the car?” But for the most part, I get a huge kick out of watching her make her own sense of her surroundings – even if her answers don’t always make sense to me.
