A little while ago (last week or so) we bought Koen some wooden shoes. He really loved them and is wearing them at every opportunity. We also started redecorating the little patch of “garden” in front of our house. The plan is to put in some stones so we can place a little bench there (if you happen to know where we can get a good cast iron bench, please let us know!).
Either way, today I started putting in the stones. Of course Koen wanted to help. We put on his wooden shoes and his “work gear” that Opa Cees gave him a while ago. Results can be viewed here.
Good thing he was wearing them too, because while helping, he dropped one of the (quite heavy) stones right on his foot! Those wooden shoes saved us a trip to the emergency room, no doubt! Much to be said for old dutch traditions 
P.S. I bought some new wooden shoes also: yellow. I’m all in favor of restoring old Dutch traditions… so who’s with me!?!?
