The Power of Slippers
A few weeks ago, Maz put a hole in his slippers by “grilling” them. I couldn’t have been more pleased. I mean, these things were hideous. They looked like a beat up ballet slipper! They fit tight and I think that if he really tried, he probably could have done a plie (if he was a tiny, tiny bit coordinated). With his old slippers, he enjoyed talking about his ”grilling slippers” all the time. “Let me just put my grilling slippers on”…EVERY SINGLE TIME. If I had a dollar every time I heard that statement, I would be on the beach in Bora Bora right no, thanking his grilling slippers for the wonderful vacation. Goodbye holy slippers, you will be missed.
Last week, I ran across a new pair of slippers, what I call “old man slippers” and I knew they would be perfect for Maz. He absolutely loves them! When he gets home at night, they are the first things on his feet. He now turned the “grilling slippers” into the everything slippers. “Sure, I’ll feed Sammy; let me just get my slippers on”…”I can cook, now that I have my slippers on,” and “Man, these slippers keep my feet warm; now, I can go out to the garage.” This goes on and on and on and on.
Good news is, he has become more active and engaging in the household activities now that he has the proper footwear…because for some reason, nothing can get done inside or outside the house without his slippers. I just laugh and take it all in.
