O's 1st Pattern

O played on the screened porch while I fixed breakfast this morning, and when I went out there I saw these shoes that she lined up. This picture is actually upside down from the way we were looking at the shoes, and the last red one (the 1st red shoe in the picture) was not lined up. I told her that she'd made a pattern (we've never talked about patterns before!), and I asked which shoe came next. She said red, and put the shoe in its place. You can't ask for a better material for making patterns than crocs!
