My sister-in-law prophesied that Yauyau would probably becomes a shoes fetish in future, because she has been trying to touch and play with shoes lately, especially the more fancy looking ladies ones.

I thought the kid’s sudden interested in shoes is most likely because she has been seeing the adults wearing these strange things on their feet and go about walking on it. Yah, for the past 11months, she has not been wearing any shoes. She cannot walk yet, wear shoes for what!? Ok, I admit, I am just lazy to take out the shoes and put it on for her. What if she dirtied the shoes and I have to wash and scrub the stains. So much trouble, must well let her go bear footed and save the effort. To those who have bought her size 2 shoes, I am sorry to have wasted your good intention, the shoes you bought were too small for her to put on now.

No more excuse now, time to let her wear shoes when we bring her out. She is wearing kid’s size 3. When I helped her wear shoes for the first time yesterday, I realised I have only one pair of socks to help her complete the girlie look, and that pair of sock was rather small too. No choice, I just pulled and tugged the sock, hoping to extend its length and squeezed her feet into the socks, then squeezed the socked feet into the shoes. Yauyau didn’t complained or tried to remove the shoes and managed to balance herself wearing them, so I concluded that the shoes weren’t too uncomfortable to wear.

After a tiring day out, she finally got to relax her feet when I took off the shoes. To my horror, I found a piece of cardboard in one of the shoes; those cardboard used for shaping the shoes. What a muddle headed mom I am, never checked properly, must be squeezy tight for her.

No shopping trip is complete without bringing home a prize, I bought two pairs of socks to commemorate this important day.
