New shoes and sleepless nights

On the first day of this month, we bought the boy a pair of squeaky shoes. He put them on eagerly and the more he heard the squeaking, the more he enjoyed stomping. Although by the 3^rd day, the shoes seemed to have hurt his feet. At times he was crying holding his feet.

The last few nights have been nights of crying. Even with the biscuits and water, the boy had to be rocked to sleep. On 2 consecutive days, his diaper loosened, leaked and we had to change the sheets. Now he wears pants/pajamas over his diapers. On the bright side, he started climbing up the stairs on all fours. His teeth is growing and the list of incoherent words ends with ‘ga ga’.
