In my shoes
Gerald has recently taken a fancy to wearing my shoes. He will go to the shoe shelf and take my shoes, put them on, and run around the house with them.
In shoes too large for him.
This is another stage in his growing up, wanting to be like an adult. Hope he won't grow up too quickly and remain my baby for a little while longer.
Wonder if my shoes are more comfortable. He may be hinting that his shoes are getting too old or tight and it is time to buy new ones.
Today, near the end of class at GUG, when the other kids were washing their hands and I was busy trying to help clean up his mess after the craft session, he slipped through the open classroom door. I wasn't really concerned cos my maid is sitting outside along the narrow corridor and will usually catch him as he runs away. However, my maid must have been not paying attention as when I came out of the classroom a few minutes later, she didn't even know that Gerald has run out of the classroom. I asked her where Gerald was and she shrugged her shoulders!!! Sigh... good help is hard to find. Then, Li laoshi came and said, "Gerald is standing at the front doors wearing your shoes." I was shocked and amused. He actually went to the shoe racks where all the kids' and parents' shoes were, correctly picked out my shoes, put them on and went to stand at the front door, waiting to go home!
