Why a picture of this otherwise uninteresting toy? This is the first one that we brought out of "hiding" after it had been away for several months in a box in the spare bedroom. We'd always been planning to do this, but never quite got around to it. Well, the reception was very gratifying: Sydney rushed out of the Library shouting "Mommy! Daddy! Look! I haven't seen this toy in weeks and weeks [more like months!]. Isaac found it for me!" We didn't correct this last minor point ... a little inaccuracy in the service of sybling harmony seems like a fair trade.

These? The shoes Isaac was wearing on Gotcha Day. They've been in service all this time (not exclusively), but he's quite outgrown them. Time for them to go to the cabinet of memories. Sometimes I've wondered who GWJ was, who bought them new, and whose feet they graced before coming into Isaac's possession.
