Last Wednesday my Mum bought me some new shoes. Special outside shoes for proper walking and they are red and very fun.
I felt a bit like a clown when I tried them on as they are much bigger and heavier than all my other shoes. 
Mum took me out to the front garden the next day to practice walking in my big boy shoes. I was a bit frustrated as I kept falling over at first and it was hard to get back up. But after a little while I could walk on the grass for several metres.
And today Dad took me walking outside. We crossed the road to St Francis Primary School and I explored the school yard. And then we went to Pt Chev Road which was very interesting with lots of cars. Later we went with Mum to the library and the Mud Pie Deli and I walked all around there as well.
Mum and Dad are very impressed at how well I am walking after only a few weeks. Soon I will be able to walk everywhere.

[...] I have got a lot of shoes now. I still have my special first pair of proper shoes but they are getting small. I have some other nice shoes as well. I really like my shoes. When we go out, Mum and Dad ask me to get my shoes and I run as fast as I can to get them. Or if I want to go outside, I go and get my shoes and bring them to Mum so she can help me put them on. Now that the weather is warm I sometimes wear sandals instead of shoes. The sandals are good because I can almost put them on by myself. [...]
