Yesterday my Mom and I took the kids to the mall. We had a few things to check off our list, including getting the kids feet measured and buying some appropriately sized foot wear. It had been a few months since we'd had any measurements done and I wanted to go to the back to school sale.
I apparently was way off on the little guy's foot size. I'd been noticing it was getting a little harder to fit his feet in his sneakers and sandals of late. And last week I noticed both his big toes were a tad bloody and the top of the nails were broken. He had been running around up and down our front path with bare feet and had experienced a wipe out.
Looking back, I'm now wondering if his big toes were so messed up because I had been shoving his feet into shoes that didn't fit or if he had hurt his toes when he fell.
I don't know, but I feel guilty, either way. Now he's in a size 7.5 (he was in a 6), even though he's a 7. I figured I'd play it safe at the rate his feet appear to be growing.
The babe was about a 9, and was in a 8.5 sandal, so I'm not feeling so bad about neglecting her (her feet are growing much slower than her brother's). We got her some new sneakers and some snazzy rain boots for school (which starts 2 weeks from tomorrow!!!).
After the shoe shopping, we headed for the food court which has a play area and a train that you can ride around on. Good times had by all, including the babe and her Nana who stood in a line for half an hour to get a flower shaped balloon from a clown (which was broken within 2 hours of getting back home).
