Georgie has entered the wonderful world of shoes. Pediatricians recommend using those soft soled Robee type shoes until kids are almost 2. They give the foot time to form naturally. Pediatricians don't know Georgie.

Georgie has been trying to wear shoes since she could barely army crawl across the floor. When the girls loose their shoes, it really isn't their fault. It's Georgie. Big shoes. Little shoes. Dirty shoes and clean shoes. She knew from the start that these weren't items to suck and chew. She knew exactly where to put them. She would grab one and fling it toward her feet when she was just a wee little thing. Then she graduated to trying to stuff her foot into them which would end up in a screaming, kicking and flailing on the ground bout. She eventually learned how to stuff her foot into a mommy sized shoe, but I still resisted. I was listening to my pediatrician!

Yesterday, she came tottering into the living room wearing a pair of the girls' high heel dress up shoes. She walked to the center of the room and then started to shake her body and twirl. Yesterday, I gave up. Yesterday, I went to Target and bought Georgie her first pair of shoes. Today, she refuses to take them off. She wants to wear them while taking a nap, while going potty, while wearing nothing but a diaper.
