Looks Absurd

This weekend I started transitioning Bun into his 12M clothing. Along with all the assorted hats and clothes his big brother has so graciously left him, there were several pairs of hard bottom shoes, size 3. For most of his life Bun has not worn shoes. As a tiny baby he wore buntings. All summer his little piggy toes were out. In the Fall he wore thick socks. And only now that the weather is really turning chilly, he has started to wear soft-bottom leather moccasins. So when I pulled out these shoes that Bean used to wear as a baby, I was rather appalled. One pair of real K-Swiss, one pair of real Nikes, one pair of Champs, two pairs of white "pre-walkers"....... what the heck was I thinking as a first-time mom? I tried those shoes on Bun, and while they fit just fine, they looked absolutely absurd. I can't believe I dressed my non-walking baby in real shoes like that the first time around. Surely, I thought it was adorable at the time?

Ha ha, I'm the opposite. I'm dressing my second baby much better than my first was. Not shoes per se, but other stuff. Cherry was in all hand me downs from friends, and didn't really have nice clothes until she was over a year old. Peach, on the other hand is wearing the nicer hand me downs, but is also getting much nicer NEW clothes. Weird eh?
