Goody two-shoes

Ella loves her shoes. Any of them. They are seriously some of her favorite toys. She would much rather hold them than wear them. She has cried at times when I took them out of her hands to put them on her feet, only placated when I gave her another pair to hold. I'm hoping this is another good sign that she will share Mama's interest in fashion. But it also has another immediate benefit. If two hands are occupied holding shoes, that leaves zero hands for pulling laundry onto the floor or getting into other trouble!
