These shoes are made for walkin'

I brought Ryan to stride-rite last night to get his very first pair of shoes. I had this really fun pair of sandals picked out (there's not a whole lot to choose from there though), but the girl said they wouldnt fit him since his feet were so wide. So she gives me about 5 options of what WILL work, so I pick out my second choice - a nice looking pair of tennis shoes...they have better support for his first pair of shoes anyway. She goes into the back to get his size and we try them on. (By the way...I am KICKING myself becasue I left the camera on the seat of the van, so I was mad that I couldnt get the pictures of his first pair of shoes for his baby book. DOPE!!!!) She struggles with them for a bit and just says, "yeah, these arent happening." Turns out he has a chubby lil foot and needs a double wide shoe...just like his brothers when they were babies too. :)  The bummer is that the only ones that would fit him with the 2W wide, are those plain old fasioned white shoes...the high top looking ones. BUT, I sucked up my need for high fasioned cute shoes and decided that the most important thing was that they actaully FIT his little foot!!! haha. :) Now, if only I could get the kid to walk in them, or even stand in them...that would be a good thing! He hates his little shoes. Cant say I blame him- the other ones were so much cuter. I just cant believe my baby is this old already!!!
