A few days ago I talked about a little girl that walks to the youth center everyday with no shoes. I also mentioned that we walked her home one night and the path that she takes everyday is covered in glass. Well, we have fallen in love with this little girl named Keiley and her brother Gavin. Yesterday I couldn't take it anymore so I decided to break out my first aid kit and doctor up those feet. I brought her a rice krispie treat to distract her which worked like a charm. Afterwards I gave her a pair of Livi's flip flops...she loved them and was so proud showing everyone her new shoes. A little while later I told Livi that I gave Keiley her shoes because she didn't have any...she then proceeded to kick off the shoes she was wearing and said "she can have these too." She ran inside and started grabbing all of her other shoes and we quickly reminded her that she had to have shoes to go home. What a sweet heart my baby has...
Her poor feet were a mess...blisters and cuts everywhere.
