Our doorsteps seemed like such an ideal place for children to put on or take off their shoes. When we had one child, the space was just nice. Two became a little crowded. But then, you know, we kinda got used to it after a while. But now with three scrambling for their shoes, inevitably blocking each others' way and preventing us parents from getting out and settling the baby brother into the pram? Sigh... Whenever we go out or come back home, things will eventually converge into a noisy quarrel about who is in who's way, who should go first and who should simply hurry up and get going. I can't imagine how messy it will become when Joram joins in the fray in the future. There HAS to be a better way.
After much brainstorming, I settled for the above arrangement. A new problem arose though. Jaide dislikes how the mat feels on her bare feet so she insists on sitting back on the doorsteps. Let's hope that she'll outgrow this little peeve by the time Joram learns how to walk...
