Extra Wide

The threat of snow today and tomorrow made our trip to Stride Rite a must for this morning. So after the morning nap we hurried out the door, determined to make it back in before the snow began. Yes, you read that right--SNOW. Yesterday it was 75 degrees and perfect for a stroll around the block and today I'm racing a snow storm. Ugghhh! Anyway, I was anxious to get to Stride Rite so that a "professional" could measure Kai's foot and help me figure out which shoe would be the best beginning shoe for Kai. The girl at the store had to measure Kai's foot twice, mainly because he was curling his toes, but also because the kid is just so small. Well, I should say that he's short and his foot was short. He came in at a 2 1/2! He's 11 months old and only wears a 2 1/2! However, the reason I couldn't seem to find any other shoes that seemed to really fit is because his foot is wide--extra wide. So, we purchased Kai a pair of size 3 Extra Wide white training shoes. Crazy! Poor kid, not only is he little, he has fat feet.

As for the snow, it started around 3pm and has not let up. We had an inch within the first hour or so and it's still a winter wonderland outside. The storm should continue through tomorrow and then clear up for Friday which they say will be in the mid-60's. Just in time for Reid's scout camp-out on Friday night!
