Insistent - Socks & Shoes

1/5/09

Mika and I were trying on clothes in a dressing room and she got the brilliant idea of swapping socks. "Ha ha, why not?" I thought. So she pulled on my black socks and I put her socks on my big toes and we had a good laugh. The she wanted her shoes on. "Well that's gonna feel gross, but whatever." It was all fun and games until she insisted on keeping my socks, like pitch-a-fit insistent. So I gave up and she wore my socks the rest of the day while I went sockless in my black wingtips in cold, wet weather. Talk about feeling gross.

At first glance, just a fun picture of the Meeks. But if you look closer, you'll notice her shoes are on the wrong feet. Ick. As she was putting them on, I tried to gently explain that she needed to switch, but she didn't want to hear that, see?

And finally, one time after her bath, Mika insisted on putting on her red shoes...before ANYTHING else.

Mika with Animals

This is part deux of the blog dedication to Collin, Justin's younger bro. He requested a black and white photo montage of Mika with animals. Unfortunately, this is neither black & white, nor a montage, (nor taxidermy for that matter, so sorry Collin), but it is ... Mika ... With ... Animals! Here we go.

Not just a hug, that's a wipe on the bear's bumbum.



Mika got a rubber snake from Chad and Lindsay at Christmas. She wasn't much interested in it, until Justin taught her it was a Kissing Snake.

Do inflatable aliens count as animals?

A throwback to the Cincinnati Zoo days, when Mika was 10 months old (with a LIVE animal).
