8 1/2

LJ outgrew his shoes in fewer than 3 months. This is depressing as his shoes are rather expensive. He now wears an 8 1/2 - ok, 8, but we bought 8 1/2 to try to get an extra bit of life out of these new shoes. We decided on one pair of sandals to get him through the summer...

I hear that when kids outgrow their shoes quicky it is a sign that they are about to have a growth spurt as they grow from bottom to top. I'll let you know.

This is all I have time to update today - RJ and I are about to blow insulation into the attic. I will be feeding insulation into the machine while RJ is in the attic (whew, I'm glad that I'm not in the attic - it is hot up there) directing the insulation where he wants it to go. This is a VERY good thing as we are 1) getting closer to finishing all the prep work and about to install the central AC, and 2) it is VERY hot in July and we could really use the insulation. We're not sure how cooperative LJ will be, but we always have Go, Diego! Go! to entertain him...LJ doesn't really care to pay much attention to TV, but if Go, Diego! Go! is on - is holds his attention for the full 30 minutes. I have several recorded for times just like these!
