We discovered in the last week that James needed new shoes. We had been checking them--pinching on the toe and sides--and they seemed to be fitting but in the last week, he was pulling them off constantly and his socks too. And then we noticed that there were red marks on the tops of his feet after he pulled them off, so we decided it was definitely time. His feet were a size and a half bigger--I swear they grew overnight. He is also looking chunkier again so I think another height spurt is coming. Anyway, we went shoe shopping and he has huge, wide feet. So, our options are slightly limited but we found the perfect pair. StrideRites made a cute pair of two-tone blue shoes--like a runner/hiker. And they fit--size 7 and 1/2 wide! And, they were called "the Jeffrey" shoe. So, they were perfect. And he was SO proud of himself in them. He strutted around the store like he invented blue shoes. And, the best part is, he doesn't seem to notice them and doesn't pick at them at all. Here are some photos.
Don't I look like a big boy in my new shoes and my lobster sweater?
Blue suede shoes!
Look how BIG they are!!
I can kick a ball really well!
Eeewww! Dirty hands, Mommy! James has milk-carton blocks outside that he loves to stack and knock down but it rained last night and they were dirty. Apparently, this offended his sensibilities because he kept stopping, looking at his hands, and rubbing them together to get the dirt off.
