I love a brilliant invention.\u00a0 I really like new stuff that makes me smack myself on the head and say \u201cwhy didn\u2019t I think of that?\u201d\u00a0 Things like the Spin-Pop.\u00a0 You know that motorized thing for suckers so that you don\u2019t have to turn them?\u00a0 You just put it on your tongue and push the button.\u00a0 It practically licks itself.<\/p>\n
I found one of those smack-myself-in-the-head brilliant things today at Wal-Mart.\u00a0 I know, I hate Wal-Mart, too, but I had to go there for something else and then I wandered down the baby shoe aisle.\u00a0 Did you know they have shoes with see-through bottoms?\u00a0 How cool is that?\u00a0 Right up at the toe is a little window with two lines on it.\u00a0 One says \u201cRoom to Grow\u201d, and the other reads \u201cPerfect Fit.\u201d\u00a0 You put your baby\u2019s foot in there and you never have to mash down the toe to guess whether or not it fits again.\u00a0 You can just look through the window and see if he\u2019s outgrowing his shoes.\u00a0 Isn\u2019t that smart?\u00a0 How many shoes have I put on how many feet?\u00a0 A toe window.\u00a0 Why didn\u2019t I think of that?<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
Can you see those little toes?\u00a0 Aren\u2019t they cute?\u00a0 I usually make the kids all wear socks, but the naked baby toes were just too irresistible.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
