On Saturday, 10/19, we took Blaine to Nordstrom to buy his first pair of shoes. He needs to wear shoes in the toddler room at daycare, so it was time to get him fitted even though he’s not yet walking.
The salesman helped us choose a size 4 1/2 Wide from Stride Rite.
Blaine didn’t seem to be that crazy about them, nor was he impressed by the traditional stuffed shoe horn they give to all the first timers.
But he was happy after discovering the play area!
The photo from the play table makes it look like having bought and then gotten rid of the shoes, he’s going to take off and walk on two feet. If true, that would add a new dimension to the shoe buying ritual.
