And the Mom of the Year Award goes to..........................
ummmm, me.
I noticed a month or so ago that Jonathan's church shoes were a little tight, so I simply got out the ones that my neighbor had handed down to us and had him start wearing them. No big deal, right? Right.
However, I forgot to check his tennis shoes that he wears everyday and ask him how they were fitting. Yesterday, we were at Walmart getting some things and he wanted some slippers. I had him try some on and we found a really cute pair. Then I said, "hey how do your shoes fit?" He says, "ummm, okay I guess".
And then I looked at them and the size and realized that the church shoes he has been wearing for the last month are TWO sizes bigger, so how on Earth could they really be 'ummm okay'???
We found a cool (cuz they can't be cute, they have to be cool) pair of shoes and got him the size that fits him good. Guess what size they are? 12
Now guess what size he was wearing.....oh come on, just guess.....9 1/2!
I AM the freaking Mother of the Year for trying to give my kid scrunched up Chinese feet!

YAY! I'm not the only one who let's their child go too long in one pair of shoes. I just did this with Thor - but he can't tell me if they're "umm, okay". I have to guess with him. I was a whole size off - poor kid.
Poor Jonathon for having to endure that, but snaps to him for not complaining! Way to go Mom for not raising a whiner!!!
I am amazed that he never said anything to you about his toes hurting, that kid has some high pain tolerance!!!
Hey!!! I did that. Only worse.
'Cos, you see, my son had been telling me for WEEKS that his shoes were too tight and I'd always forget when we were at the store and he would never remind me.
He jumped about the same amount - two to three sizes - when I bought him the new shoes.
Made me feel so awful I ask him every few weeks "Are your shoes ok? Do they fit?" for fear I'll forget again and he'll end up disabled because his mother doesn't have a brain.
*sigh* I feel like such a scumbag when I remember that. =(
What's wrong with Chines feet?
Hey, I'm still having a Mother of the Year pity party at my house. Come on over. Bring popcorn. We can watch sad movies till we bawl our eyes out.
