Holden, as you may have guessed, is a creature of habit and hates change. So, needless to say, for the past couple months, we have waged a battle over shoes. Holden has refused to wear any shoes except his one pair of tennis shoes. Granted, they're pretty cool and light up when he takes a step, but they're getting pretty grimy. With a wedding and a full weekend of family activities planned, it was time to put our feet down and insist Holden put his feet into something different. To achieve this task, we discovered we are not above the tactic of bribery. We got him to try on shoes at the store by promising we'd go to the beach afterward. We had a nice time on a chilly autumn day and took lots of great pictures before The Incident.
Since we were having such a nice time, we, as always, pushed our luck and went to one of our favorite eateries, The Kettle, for dinner. First, Riley got all riled up and Kevin and I took turns eating while the other walked him up and down the street. Then, almost in the clear, Holden asked to go the potty. We'll spare you the details, but let's just say Kevin found himself in a horrific situation without wipes (he had Riley's diaper bag but had taken the wipes out earlier and forgot to put them back in) and without a change of clothes - for either of them. We are not sure we'll ever be allowed back at The Kettle again. And did we mention how excited we are about this whole potty training thing?
