new shoes...

We shop for new shoes every few months as these little monkeys grow. We don't mind and it is actually very exciting for them to get new ones. We measure their feet and pick out some different styles of shoes from the display. The kids love to run around the store while we frantically search for the styles and sizes (which are inevitably typed in shoesalesman code & in mini print) on the sides of the boxes. When we finally do find the shoes we have to find the kids to put them on. Luckily they find it very interesting to put the new shoes on and sit still while we do it. Once they have the new pair on they walk or run around and they forget altogether that they have some new shoes on. We pay and leave the store quickly because they get restless! They love their new shoes and usually don't ask us to put the old ones on again.
