So we have been pretty sure that Desmond’s foot has grown in the past few weeks, but we were trying to hold out a bit longer before getting him new shoes, so he won’t outgrow them before INdia (he likes to outgrow his shoes in about a month).   Today we put on his sneakers and decided we couldn’t really wait the extra 4 weeks he needed new shoes.   So off to Stride Rite we went.   He got measured and is now a size 7 extra wide.  We decided to try him in size 71/2 in an attempt to get his shoes to last through India (I can dream right?).  he 7 1/2s fit him quite well, so he is now wearing size 7 1/2shoes.

Did you know that the shoes move from baby toddlers to big kids shoes right around size 7!  Yep they do, so the short one is basically now wearing big kid shoes rather then toddler shoes, you know the ones where you have a choice to get real shoe laces to tie (I think we’ll wait a bit on those).

We also bought him socks while we were at the store because he only has 3 pairs that fit his big feet at this point.   So now he has new shoes, I’m just hoping he doesn’t outgrow them before October 20th.
