New shoes? Already?

Seven weeks ago we went shoe shopping and got Colin his first pair of real tennis shoes. $30 later after a trip to the outlet, and we had a pair of nice extra wide shoes. Needless to say, with the need for extra wide, this now rules out shoe shopping at places like Target.

Today we go in for some brown shoes for fall, and we measure just to check. New shoe size, please. He's a half size bigger (and almost pushing a whole size) in just 7 weeks. Man, I need to take stock in Stride Rite. Will I be buying new shoes every 7 weeks for the next year? All that ravioli I mentioned in my last posting is going right into his feet! The sales clerk gave me the advice to scotch guard the shoes for longer wear. I laughed to myself thinking, "We'll outgrow them before he could POSSIBLY wear them out!"
