Summer of Crocs…

B never ceases to amaze us…

Case in Point:

This summer when we headed north, B was wearing sandals (purchased around the end of April) that were a size 4 1/2. My mom noticed that the sandals seemed a little snug so we took him to be sized and learned that his “little” feet had grown to a size 6. I was amazed that his feet had grown that much in such a short period of time!

B’s Gram was gracious and bought him these green croc-o-dile crocs (in a size 6)…which he absolutely loved. He would look down at them and giggle as he walked…I liked the little reptile shoes myself, they matched almost everything and were quite a conversation starter.

One morning, about 2 weeks ago, I went to put the infamous green shoes on and to my surprise, couldn’t get B’s left foot wedged into the plastic shoe. I blamed the heat and assumed he must be a little swollen…waited, put baby powder on his feet and in the shoe and tried again…this worked (sort of). About a half hour later, I took his shoes off and noticed that he had little red hole marks on the tops of his feet from the shoes…it was at this point that we loaded up the car, and headed to the shoe store to be measured, again.

This time they measured him at a 7!!!!! Our little guy’s feet grew an entire size in less than a month!!!! Again, I was amazed!

B’s Grandma J heard about the crazy foot antics and graciously supplied us with a new pair of “big kid” crocs.

B is quite enamored by his new kicks…he looks down at them as if to admire them as he walks around the house.

So long croc-o-diles…it was a great, though short run, you will be missed…we will pack you away for future little one’s feet.

New crocs…you have pretty big shoes to fill (no pun intended)…we we hope you will be around for at least the next month!

Gram…thanks for the the first round of crocs…they were enjoyed greatly!

Grandma J…thanks for the second pair, B is working to getting them acclimated to life in our neck of the wood.

Happy Wednesday.

Be blessed.
