Amazing that a month ago I had Keegan at the doctor because I was worried about his eating. I couldn't believe that a living thing could exist on so little food. In the past few weeks his appetite has improved considerably. Tonight he put away an impressive amount of mac and cheese, a piece of string cheese and a drinkable yogurt. Later on the couch he ate all the rest of the blueberries and then asked to finish off the grapes. If only I could find a vegetable he liked so well.
After work we went to exchange his shoes since it turns out his feet are bigger than I remembered. Unlike his mother he is not a good shoe shopper which is why I usually leave him out of the loop. But I wanted to get back before the sales were over. As expected he disappeared behind the racks while I fished out the right size. He indulged me as I measured his foot but would not try on the sneakers. "Sandal shoe! Sandal shoe!" So he wore a new pair of brown sandals out of the store and I was surprised when he actually agreed to remove them at home. I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of them this summer.
