New Shoes

We finally bought Nolan a pair of walking shoes.  Poor kid was running around town in his socks.  Walking around the zoo and going to the playground in socks was ridiculous and so we finally gave in and took him to Stride Rite for his first pair of shoes.  Don't get me wrong, Nolan had too many shoes to possibly wear when he was an infant and I quickly learned how stupid baby shoes are; which I think turned me off to shoes for Nolan until now, when they are actually appropriate.  When he was an infant he would kick them off and he wasn't anywhere near walking.  What is the point?  Now they are going to benefit him and we will actually get some good use out of these shoes :)

Nolan had fun picking them out.  The sales lady measured his feet (4 wide), he got an Elmo sticker for being a good sport, and we picked out a really cute pair of navy blue sneakers.  He is slowly getting used to them.  The first few attempts he just looked at his feet, moved them around weirdly, and whined.  The last couple of times he has worn them he has done a much better job and seems to be getting used to them.  He looks like such a big boy in his new shoes!!

 "Wait a second, what are these things?"

 "I'm going to take them off."

"They are stuck on my feet and I don't think I like them."
