They just get infatuated. I'm fine with this. <BR/><BR/>And I love the "bitch" bit. I know exactly how you feel. I remember one time when Natalie was little and a little girl was gratuitously mean to her. I felt the same way. Bad part was that I said it in front of Nat. "That little bitch!" Bad Nino. hehAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13493347.post-77850566676124965702008-10-09T21:37:00.000-05:002008-10-09T21:37:00.000-05:00I agree with you. What the hell???

Why does a little kid think of things like how boring another kid's shoes are??<BR/><BR/>I've had terrific luck at thrift stores, as far as shoes for my oldest daughter go. My younger three are all in hand-me-downs from their cousins. I've had a lot of people tell me how awful that is. Oh well.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08385300459967135657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13493347.post-67045156388478972912008-10-09T20:21:00.000-05:002008-10-09T20:21:00.000-05:00Peter's school requires either white sneakers or b...Peter's school requires either white sneakers or black dress shoes. I didn't bother replacing the size 10 sneakers he got last fall when they got a giant hole in the toe in July because he was still a size 10 and there was no way he'd still be in that size in September. Finally got new sneakers last week (white, $15 at Target -- first time he hasn't worn Stride Rite from the outlet because I can actually tell if the shoes fit without help now) and he was 10.5 My mom got black dress shoes, no visible wear, at a garage sale, so he switches between the two. He was barefoot 90% of the time this summer and still argues that he doesn't need shoes outdoors in 50 degree weather. <BR/><BR/>I generally get one $20-$25 pair of sneakers from the Stride Rite outlet and do something similar for dress shoes if my mom doesn't find any. But both kids have worn their last pair of shoes for a year, somehow. If they have more than one dressy and one casual pair, they were purchased at a garage sale. I don't see the point in having more shoes to lose, either. <BR/><BR/>Dan told me he needs new shoes -- he's been wearing the same pair to school since he student taught 5 years ago. I figure we'll get him nice ones at a dept store for half off during one of the endless fall sales.AmyRobynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13264454717815499514noreply@blogger.com
