Shoe Shopping

Today we had a busy day. After B's morning nap we headed to Buy Buy Baby to get Brooklynn some new pacifiers. She had a surplus of paci's before she started her new class in January, but they have slowly disappeared. After seeing how paci's are passed around the daycare classroom Nick and I have decided to only let her have one when she is sleeping or fussy on long car rides. She seems to sleep better with one, so at this point we aren't really interested in getting rid of them totally. We are going to try it this week and see how she does at school with only getting a paci at nap time.

We headed back to the mall today because Brooklynn was in desperate need of new shoes. Little did I know at the time how desperately she needed new shoes. Mimi and Pops bought her a nice pair of shoes from Stride Rite around her birthday and she has worn those every day since. In fact, those are the only shoes she has that fit. I never thought of getting new ones because they matched everything and she really just needs a comfy pair for daycare. We went to Stride Rite first today, only to get irritated with the lack of service. We finally just left and went to Nordstrom's. Oh, how I will miss Nordstrom's when we move back to Greenville. What a fabulous children's shoe department. It turns out the B is now wearing a size 6!! We have been stuffing that foot into a size 4 since Christmas! Poor B. They had such a great selection that we tried on about 8 different pairs and finally decided on these:

I would have bought her the three other pairs that I liked as well, but the wallet only allows for one at this point! B certainly let us know which ones she liked and which ones she didn't. We finally had it narrowed down between the ones above and another pair. We chose these because they are a little different from what she had before. After a little time adjusting to shoes that actually fit, B seems happy as well with the pick. It looks like in the future I shouldn't wait as long between shoe purchases. Who knew feet grew so quickly?!
