Niko got new rain boots a few weeks ago, and good thing because we needed them these past few days. For anyone reading that doesn't live in the area, we had 3 straight days of heavy rain, resulting in lots of flooded streets and homes. We had about 5 inches of yucky water in our basement, but lucky for us we were able to move most of the things we care about up higher on top of plastic storage boxes and old tables in anticipation of this happening. On the 3rd day, John called the fire dept. to see if they could help pump some of the water out, but they couldn't because the water was backing from a pipe and could contain raw sewerage (definitely yucky water, but on the plus side it was all clear water). Niko got a kick out of looking out the window while holding his own mini fire engine.
The other picture is of him wearing his boots while watching tv, and this is what he has looked like almost every day since we got the boots. He's been wearing them around the house (even on the most dry, spring like days) and insists on wearing them whenever he needs shoes. Our next purchase is a raincoat, because when we went out puddle jumping he was wearing one that was 6-12 months! Oddly enough, it still fit his skinny little 21 month old body except for being a little short in the sleeves.
