kind of like a cowbell, only squeakier

A few weeks ago I made what is probably my most obnoxious purchase ever...

Yes, those are shoes that squeak when he walks. I had kind of forgotten about them, but he found the bag earlier so I decided to test them out. At first he was quite freaked out by them & wouldn't walk at all, then he'd only walk if I held his hand. In no time he was running all over the place. Maybe these will become his "house shoes" so I can hear him no matter where he is in the house. I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to have him wear them in public, but they could come in handy someday. He seems to think they sound like a dog barking because he keeps calling them "puppies". What a goof.

Amazingly enough I think tomorrow is a day free of plans. Although, these days if we don't get out of the house at some point or another during the day Jonathan gets a little restless. He starts asking to put his shoes on & go. Any suggestions on a free/inexpensive activity we can do?
