High Five

When I went to get Mara out of her crib following her nap this afternoon, she was all excited about her shoes. It took me a few seconds to figure out what she was trying to tell me, but it all became clear when I noticed that her shoes were on the wrong feet. She had obviously taken off her shoes, and then put them back on her feet all by herself. She even managed to fasten the velcro on her own. I was very impressed, and praised her saying "good job". She then said in a most adorable way, "High five, Mommy!"...and put her hand up in the air for me to hit. It was too cute!
