Shoe woes

Toddlers must not be meant to wear shoes.

Is it so strange that my 14 month old needs some hard-soled shoes? I didn't think so, but apparently everyone else does. 

I was all about shopping online, until I realized I had no idea what size she currently is. I thought to myself, "Oh I'll just run to the mall and try some on, maybe even buy some in store (a phenomenon 'round here) and be done with it". Silly me, didn't know what I was asking for.

I did figure out what size she was by trying on some boys high top Nike's. (excuse me no way am I putting my girly girl in those). Then every store proceeded to tell me that they don't carry shoes that small. At all.

What?!

So back to online shopping once I got home, and the discouragement set in. Everything I found new was at least $40 and everything used was overpriced just because they were name brand. I was about to admit defeat and just pay more for the shoes I wanted, when I found a wonderful, fabulous, amazing promo code. 40% off!! I didn't think it could be true, but all of a sudden I went from paying $40 to only $28 with shipping. Much easier to stomach knowing that she's only going to wear them for a few months. Thankfully, I know that these shoes can be worn by both girls, so they'll go farther.

Here is what I ordered.

Drift Cat IV Diamonds Kids, black-puma silver-white 

Are you dying right now? I have been since I pushed "Confirm Payment". I cannot wait for these to come. If your remember, I got hubby some black and white Pumas for his birthday last year and they are still practically new so these two are going to be all matchy matchy soon and my heart can hardly take it.

It's so much more acceptable for a baby to be matchy matchy with daddy than it is with mommy. I'm okay with it.

    Where are you shopping?! I don't remember having any problem finding shoes for Grayson that young. Then again, I was looking for boy shoes. I mostly shopped at Target. :)
