One for One and Climbing

Eli has found a new skill........ CLIMBING! We are thrilled!!! Okay- maybe not, but I guess we are happy he's learning new ways of getting around and getting to places he hasn't been before.  Recently he has climbed into the bathtub with his clothes on (of course with my help and supervision).  He also climbs on the refrigerator anytime I open the door, and takes stuff out to throw on the floor :)  

Here are some other things Eli is climbing: 

My fluffy sofa pillows

The steps at the playground while his play date cheers him on! 

And of course he climbs up the slide instead of sliding down! 

Because of Eli's new found skill, I feel I'm closer to a heart attack than ever before.  Of course his climbing skill has led to a few slips and falls, but that does not deter the little fellow from climbing everything in site! Should I buy a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads now or later? Maybe I should just put him in a bubble, what do you guys think? 

I realized I haven't talked about products that we love lately so I wanted to talk to you guys about shoes.  As many of you know I never really had Eli wear any shoes until he started walking.  Eli was always in socks that "resembled" sneakers.  Our favorites were Trumpette socks and Me In Mind Socks ( I will miss those).  Anyway I wanted to take the time to talk to everyone about Toms.  Eli is wearing them in the playground pictures above .  

Eli has the Blue Green Tie Dye Tiny TOMS 

Out of all of the shoes I've gotten him so far these are our favorite.  They are easy to put on and take off with a velcro "hook and loop" and are very comfortable on his feet.  Not only are they stylish but the best part about TOMS is that they have something called "One for One", which means that for every pair of shoes you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of new shoes to a child in need.  There is nothing better than shopping for a good cause.  I am in love with their movement.  You can purchase Toms for yourself as well (I know I will be getting a pair the next time I hit the mall).  To learn more about them you can visit their website at toms.com .  Happy Shopping! 

We hope everyone is having a great week!
