Yesterday after I picked Ellie up from school and we got home, she begged me to take her shoes off as she always does. She pretty much hates wearing shoes, and sometimes hates wearing clothes. In fact, when we watch “The Jungle Book” she wants to take off her clothes so she can look like Mowgli. Other times she just wants to take her clothes off for no reason. Getting her to keep her shoes on in the car on the way to daycare is a daily challenge. So yesterday we get home and I take her shoes off, and GOOD LORD I HAVE NEVER SMELLED ANYTHING SO AWFUL. I couldn’t just smell her feet if I was sitting next to her, but I could also smell them every time I walked by her, and if I left the room for a couple of minutes and then came back in I swear it was as if they had stunk up the whole room. Finally I had to light a candle to combat the awful stench waves that I believe I actually saw rising from her feet. I took this picture of her feet while The Bean was sleeping, and I actually feel bad for her stuffed monkey Verde who seems to have ended up with his nose right over her feet. Sorry Verde, sleep tight.
