New shoes

I picked the girls up from school early to go to my doctor's appointment and then go get some new shoes. By the way, Stride Rite is really expensive, but worth it. Needless to say it was a sad day. My little girl, Maddy, is now in BIG girl shoes. Sniff sniff. The sales lady asked if she had started walking. When I answered, "oh yea she's all over the place". She said, "well then she's here in this section now" and pointed to the next level up. Sniff again. I told her no. She said yes. I said I wasn't ready, she laughed and basically said too bad. Sniff again and again. She's a 5W. What? Wide? Okay that's weird.

Anyway... after we put them on her and checked the size, she let her go. Maddy didn't know what to do. She was trying to walk, but it was like watching her walk through poop. She'd take a step and then lift her foot as if to go "what the heck?" She did that several times and then just took off like a mad woman. That was it.

So on to Reagan. She actually did really well today. She was so excited about getting new shoes, I didn't have much prodding to do. She got new sneakers and new church shoes. Oh yea - they are total bling shoes. She's now a size 11 or 12. The shoes we got were size 12, but they lady said 11 I thought. Hmmm. Sigh.

My girls are getting bigger.

Shopping?

Reagan and I ran over to Target today to grab a white t-shirt for class tomorrow. Since I hadn't had any luck finding her a coat, I thought I'd try there and let her try it on. We found out quickly that she is still in toddler sizes there. Good.

We wandered back to find a coat and she picked one out that she liked. Next, she said, mom I want to shop. Uh really? Yes she did. She said "I need clothes" and off she went. I said honey, you're a 5T. So she went and found every 5T item they had and pulled it off the rack. I was cracking up. I went from needing a single shirt and maybe a coat to spending $200 in clothes. What the heck happened to me?
