Or, the keys to the car.
First time in shoes, usually I let her cruise barefoot (ped’s recommendation) but there is just so much ick I can take. (Like, very little <hangs head in shame>) Still, we must try I suppose, and so the shoes are in a ziploc, always under her stroller, along with wipes. Because she hasn’t grown into the awesome silver Repettos one of her fans (a.k.a. my close girlfriend) gave her yet.
(Seriously, did you know the Lane Crawford warehouse in Ap Lei Chau carries branded baby shoes plus matching mummy version? They outgrow them things sooo fast it’s like why bother, but then I saw one lady frame up her daughters old ballet shoes as she outgrew them and that did look really nice…)
Canvas shoes from Seed. Not recommended without socks, they give shoe bite. And the lady already said those were the most popular in the store hmm. Well she also said to put on socks but I didn’t think she meant like, Absolutely Every Time You Put The Shoes On Even To Stand And Wave Maniacally On A Rock In.
Would’ve stuffed Her Highnesses’ footed onesie into them but it’s way too long for her so she toddles about the bed with the ends knotted up the same way too…
Miss Rockstar looks so happy standing there in her shoes. Barefoot at home is ok with me but in public places where everyone wears shoes, going barefoot and stepping on places where dirty shoes have been walking on is a no no in my books.
I cleared out a JD-free areas for her to clamber about barefoot and she does most of her “walking” there; most outside places that come to mind other than simply at the bottom of where we live I really have a problem with the floor – spitters and bird poop during bird flu season. To a slightly lesser extent, shoes that have been in public toilets. (cringe) Which is why we’ve always sprayed the soles of our shoes with sanitizer when we come home even though we don’t wear shoes in the apartment…
Miss Rockstar is too cute!!!!
tk u tk u I am of course incapable of an unbiased opinion 😀
