[blparent] Noisy shoes

[Allie]

I also got one from www.travelingwithkids.com called the O'Pair 
Child Harness.  The parent and child both wear a fanny pack, and 
there's a five-foot retractable line coming out of the parent's 
pack that connects them together with a metal snap.  The child 
pack comes in different animals; I got a bear, and it is very 
cute! Gabs loves it and knows we're going "bye-bye" when she sees 
it.  I like it because if I happen to let go of her hand, she 
can't get very far.
