Keen Footwear kindly sent us a pair of their Newport H2 Sandals for Lucy to try. Lucy was so excited to get them and put them on as soon as they came. We happened to be outside, she put them on, and she was gone! Running up the driveway with no problem. There was no “adjustment period” with the Keens.

Until last night… My husband and I were sharing a quick hug in the kitchen and Lucy caught us. She ran up to join in the hug and I hugged her back. I then said “oh, I love you!” AND SHE RESPONDED!!! “Love you too” It was quiet, but she said it. She said it. John was there, I have proof. Who...
