Adventures with Leslie: Boots

“Laura. I need snow boots.” This is how the conversation with Leslie started.

It seems like an easy enough request, right? It’s not. Leslie is severely pigeon-toed (yes, I had to look up this term to find out if it’s out of favor), especially when she climbs stairs upright…which she’s doing a lot more of these days.

The wrong pair of boots could be catastrophic to her progress. When she came to my house, she was afraid to walk outside – and never in the snow or rain

I didn’t want her fear to return. So, we went to the top – Nordstrom.

Leslie walked right over to the escalator, a far cry from last summer! She stepped on, stayed laser-focused on the ascending stairs, and stepped off. Comfortably. I had to insist on holding her arm.

She walked directly over to a leopard-print pair of Uggs.

“I like these,” Leslie declared. Ok.

“These are nice but how about if we look at a few more,” I said.

“No, I like these.” I pulled five other models and she sat down to try them on. Leopard first. We never got to number two.

Leslie knows what she likes! We just have to listen.
