Creativity's afoot...

Shoe train

We've all heard of a shoe tree... well my 2 year old son created a shoe train. It's amazing when we can step back (pun intended) to see our kids problem solve or create art using everyday objects. So many times I am reminded to simply look at things simply. I look at each shoe that was placed heel to toe flowing in the same direction, through curves and bends. My son's shoes are placed before ours, following a trail to new adventures, led by a child's creativity. Shoes of rest (slippers) are mixed with shoes of work and shoes of leisure... it's a good reminder to try to keep grounded, go with the flow, and mix fun and work during the day to make sure it'll start on the right foot.
