So I just learned a good lesson. RE:big fat baby feet

And I feel pretty effing stupid now. 

LO's feet seemed to be getting really close to the tops of her sneakers, so I figured I'd grab a pair of the next size up at Kohl's today. They didn't have any size 6's there- which turned out to a good thing, because I ended up walking right next door to Stride Rite and having her feet measured.

Yea- She's an effing 6.5!! How is it possible for me to squeeze her fat/huge feet into size 5's? I'll tell you how! She scrunches her feet when you put sneakers on (she was doing it the entire time we were fitting the new shoes) so even with bigger shoes- or rather, the right size- she still scrunches her toes up- so they feel like they're way too big!  The thing was, I never realized she was scrunching them in the hard soled sneakers, the lady at Stride Rite told me she's doing it. It felt like she still had some room in her regular sneakers (just nearly to the tops). Well I'm so glad we stopped in and had her feet measured, now I just need to figure out how to get her to stop scrunching up her toes- which hopefully will resolve on its own now that she's got a lot more room. 

 So I guess I don't get the Gold Star Mom sticker this month!

Lol I did the same thing just a few weeks ago. LO was wearing size 3s and I went to get him some 4s.  The lady measured his foot and  He is now in size 5s cause they don't make 4.5 at payless I guess. I felt bad that he's been scrunching up his toes.

Yeah.  Gabe was wearing 2s this summer.  Before he started in the toddler room in the fall we got him fitted (he only wore them outside when he was in the infant room and had to wear them all the time in the toddler room).  He was a size 4.  Whoops!
