[blparent] Noisy shoes

[Eva Adams]

My boyfriend and I just bought the puppy dog leash for our 15 month 
daughter.  We aren't letting her run ahead of us yet, but we like it for a 
safety thing if she happens to break from our hand.  She really enjoys is, 
and seems to be so proud of herself when she gets to walk like a big girl 
instead of being in the stroller.
