My day got better. I called around to all the stores that sold stride rite and birkis and found some stride rites on a half price sale. Yippee! We even had 3 we could choose from in his size, so that was great. Zane wasn’t entirely sure and kept bringing us the model of the sneakers he has been wearing, but seemed ok once we got the new shoes on him. Of the three, two were tie up and one was velcro. As much as I like the tie-up kind, I think it would be better for Zane to have the velcro at this point so he is able to put them on and take them off without help.
Getting out of the house also helped break the bad cycle we had going and that was good for all of us. So, we are doing much better emotionally now too.
Oh….I almost forgot….at the store, while Zach & I were discussing the merits of the shoe choices, Zane looked up at the store name written on the wall and READS IT. Now, he pronounced “Little” a bit off (but close), but enthusiastically shouted “Feet”. I about dropped the shoe I was holding. Very cool!
E-M-E-R-G-E-N-C-Y
Yeah…he is following in his dad’s footsteps, isn’t he!
no more spelling words in conversation around him
That is terrific! What a smart little bean you have.
Glad that you are all feeling better
