This morning, my coworker told me that some of the Big Lots stores in the area had Crocs - REAL Crocs -for $10. Which is a steal. I recently decided (after being inspired by Jill and her fat-footed toddler) that I need to buy some of these for W because his fat little feet don't fit into most shoes. He's also about a size 6.5, and I've found that most toddler shoes only come in whole sizes, which doesn't work for us. So Crocs were the solution.
Unfortunately, those horribly ugly plastic things are expensive. Like $25 for a pair of toddler shoes he'll probably outgrow in a month. But because I love me kid (and hate getting made fun of for his pinkie toes sticking out the side of his too-small sandals), I was going to do it. Luckily for me, my coworker gave me the Big Lots tip before I could actually pull the trigger.
So the hunt began.
I went to three different stores looking for these things in his size. It would have been four, but my coworker had checked for his size when she was there, so that one was crossed off my list. I got lucky and found his size. I bought two pairs.

One is plain black and doesn't have a heel strap. They had a brown pair of the same style, but I left them because I'm not sure how well W will do with the strapless shoes. One is a light blue that looks a little girly, but it has a strap. They both have the fuzzy lining, so they'll work in cold weather, too. Joy.
W hasn't actually tried them on yet, but I'm hoping they work. Otherwise, he's going to run around like a bare-footed heathen forever.
While Croc hunting, I also happened across these super-cute puzzle piece picture frames. They were cheap and in the primary color scheme I want for W's room, so I picked up a bunch. Now I just need to find something to put in them, artfully arrange them on his wall, hang his shelves (after buying brackets for them), put his alphabet mat back on the floor, and get him a big boy bed, and his room will be done. I'm practically there!
(P.S. Stay tuned on the bedroom thing. I'm really hoping to have both boys' rooms completely done and functional by the end of summer. Don't laugh yet! It might happen!)
