LID and flip flops

Today we found out that our dossier was logged into the CCAA on July 9th. This means they've acknowledged our paperwork and the actual countdown can start!




Annie has so wanted to wear flip flops ever since she came home. The problem is that one of her feet is about 1/2 length and has no toes and the other foot has a little toe and the rest of her toes are fused. So flip flops have never seemed to be an option and we've never had them in the house so as not to make her feel bad.

Today when I went to pick the girls up at daycare, the dramatic play area had been set up as a beach. There were towels and beach toys--and flip flops. As soon as I walked in the door, I could hear Annie yelling "Mommy, Mommy, come see!" from the other side of the room. Lo and behold, she had a pair of flip flops on and they were staying on! Honestly, I think she holds them on her feet through sheer will. So our next stop was Walgreens and we came home with lovely pink flip flops for Annie and Bethany both. Annie is loving walking around the house making flip flop noises. Her determination (and love of fashion) are just amazing.
