at least something on Cambelle is growing.

Seriously, I haven't even thought about Cambelle's shoe size for about a couple of months now. I've taken Chloe to get new shoes, but for some reason, never thought about getting Cambelle sized again. Since I already think I'm a bad mom, I won't even tell you when the last time I took her to get her foot measured. So, today was the day! We drove to OLLY for two reasons: 1. They scan your child's foot to get an exact measurement and 2. their selection is by far the biggest I've seen. But, there are two downfalls: 1. It's far from my house (10 miles, but in Jersey that means 30 minutes - that's far for me, when I have to cranky children in the car) 2. they cost a pretty penny! So, we drove up there, got Cambelle measured and found out that she was wearing a size and a half too small. She was wearing a size 5 - now she's a 6.5! What kind of mom am I? Letting my child wear small shoes. My friend. Liz, told me not to feel guilty... but I do!

I originally was looking for my "staple girl shoe," - brown Maryjane's. But, since we are in a seasonal transition period (that's what the lady said at OLLY), they didn't have any in her size, not even in another color. Let me explain why I like brown Maryjane's: they go with everything - dresses, skirts, capris, jeans, basically anything Cambelle wears. So, I was a little disappointed that they had not one pair in her size... I was simply amazed. Anyways, since I drove 32 minutes, I was going to buy at least one pair of stinkin' shoes. I can't disclose the price of them... but they are worth it. Cambelle is running on air, I guess I would be too if I didn't have to curl my big toe in order to wear shoes. But, Cambelle did not complain once! so, I don't feel that bad.
