We drove to Lancaster this weekend to buy shoes at the outlets. It's a beautiful drive through Amish farmland. There was a festival or market of some sort so we got to see lots of horse and buggies going to and from on the roads. The kids enjoyed seeing the cows, horses, sheep and goats. Jaelyn still desperately wants to ride a horse and she begged and begged every time we saw one. Maybe one day...
I've felt guilty because the kids are still wearing the shoes they got in September...7 months. None of them seemed really tight though. We apparently have mostly (except Allie) slow growing feet at our house. Caden went from a 7 1/2 to an 8, Jaelyn went from a 10 1/2 to an 11 and Allie, with the biggest jump, went from a 9 to a 10 1/2. No wonder she's been complaining about her feet hurting. Bad mommy!
Allie and Caden got velcro tennis shoes, but we let Jaelyn pick out a cute pair of lace up "sneakers" as she's learned to say while living in the North. I spent about 30 minutes working with her learning to tie Daddy's shoes (longer laces). She's not an expert by any means and still needs more practice, but she has the basics of bow tying down.
