Options

One of the many great concepts of having the 2nd child is all the hand-me-downs that they get from the first child. For example, I haven't needed to buy Ruby any shoes. I was never a fan of putting shoes on her when she was a little baby I just opted for socks since she was born in November. This first photo shows the 3 pairs of shoes she inherited from Milo's shoe collection. Uggs, always a favorite. New Balance tennis shoes, which are also a favorite for a beginner walker. They provide great support and I think they are so adorable, I guess any sneaker is adorable when it is about 6 inches long. And the last pair are certainly the cutest but certainly a bit cumbersome to put on puggy little squirming feet, they are the black high-top converse.


Now that Ruby prefers walking over crawling and we are outside a lot and her foot has grown to accommodate the next size (5) I pulled out all of her OPTIONS that she can now fit into. I love having the Toms shoes, they are her only fitting fashionable shoe that can be worn with skirts and dresses, other than that they are either more tennis shoes thanks to Milo, or a hiking water sandal courtesy of Lydia's Christmas gift. At the far left side of the photo you can see my favorite sandal, the brown Salt Water sandal courtesy of Shanma & Bunka's (Rick & Shannon Lyman) Christmas gift, these run a bit big so they aren't quite fitting yet but I am sure it will be a matter of a couple of months before her foot can comfortably fit into them. These will be her everyday dress and skirt shoe.

Here is another angle to view her OPTIONS


Almost all girls young and mature love having shoe options.
