New shoes...

New shoes, that's what we went shopping for on Sunday. Little monkey had been telling me for a week or so that his feet were hurting, I knew he had outgrown his clarks so was just wearing his next trainers.
Off to clarks we went to get him measured, it's not what i expected......

TOTAL MELTDOWN!

My monkey isn't so confident with strangers and i should have realised that this outing would be like the dentist was. He does have tickly feet but i didn't expect the total meltdown he had.

I turned out to be "that" mum.

Everyone was staring, looks of sympathy was coming my way, my boy was screaming, crying, throwing himself on the floor and throwing himself back at me, i was trying to calm him down but their was no reasoning so i had to let him do his thing, even food didn't help!

We managed to try 2 pairs, 1 of which didn't fit which meant he had to try a 3rd pair. Whilst the ever so patient lady got the other shoes i took monkey off to look a shoes for bunny, just to calm him down. It helped a lot and resulted me in buying bunny some shoes.....it's so easy to buy for girls.

All the time i was telling him the lady would be putting another pair of shoes on his feet, it didn't help, cue another meltdown!

We managed to fit the new shoes and I left them on him for ease, so I'm hoping now his feet don't grow for a couple of years.....! Ha
