Even though he&#8217;s not walking, everyone else in the room is, so his little feet are vulnerable to being stepped on. Plus Doodles is cruising, which means his little feetsies need to be protected from the wood chips and garbage in the park. I asked the day care teacher what kind of shoe she suggested, and she said, &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.striderite.com\">Stride Rite<\/a>.&#8221; So this past weekend, we all made a trip to the mall so my son could get some tiny little leather things to cover his size 3 extra wide feet.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jennyandadam.com\/Jenny\/shoes2.jpg\" alt=\"shoesies!\" vspace=\"5\" hspace=\"5\" align=\"left\" \/>Do you have any idea how much a pair of Stride Rites cost? Forty friggin&#8217; dollars! For a couple of inches of leather and a tiny little sole. Why didn&#8217;t I go into baby shoes ages ago? I&#8217;ve never heard of anything so outrageous. I can&#8217;t remember the last time <i>I<\/i> spent $40 on a pair of shoes and it takes more to cover my feet. And the best part? In two to three months, he&#8217;ll need a new pair. Let me tell you, for that next pair, my little Doodles precious tootsies will be going into <a href=\"http:\/\/www.payless.com\">Payless<\/a> shoes. Forty bucks. Sheesh!<\/p>\n<p>And what do $40 get us? Something that Doodles tries his best to get off his feet as fast as he can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, I find shoes ridiculous.
