JUST CALL HER TOPSY!

In February Alice had her first pair of shoes. I took her to have them measured regularly, but she was the same size until about 4 weeks ago. As it's supposed to be summer I bought her light canvas shoes in palish pink and later some of the plastic clog shoes. She's worn the clogs more than the canvas ones but at the weekend when I put the canvas ones on her they seemed a little small.

Alice needed new shoes anyway - something to match a red outfit. The best shoe shop for children that I've found so far is in Bath - so off we went. This particular shop have never failed to fit a pair of shoes and have always managed to find some that I like (i.e. not multicoloured, over embriodered or covered in sequins and sparkle!) They didn't fail today either, thank Heavens!

Alice now has a lovely new pair of canvas shoes - that are patterned and will go with pink and red, BUT they're a WHOLE SIZE bigger than the ones from 4 weeks ago!! So in less than 2 months Alice's feet have gone up a width fitting and grown a size and a half. Oh, her new shoes - they smell!! They are fragranced shoes - like the erasers from the 1980s!!

(Bonus - we met up with C and L for a delicious lunch - thanks, M was at work (big XXs - you were missed!)
