New shoes, again

Here's a picture of Isaac's new shoes, just purchased today! They're so new that he hasn't even worn them yet. His last shoes were size six, and these are sevens; the official word on his size is that he is "at the top end of six," so these give him some room to grow.

These are really cute, I think, although they aren't as flashy or colorful as his last shoes -- but as I told Craig, if we're going to buy Isaac new shoes every four months, we will have plenty of chances to try out a variety of styles. He can be a little less of a hipster for a few months.

Craig and Isaac went to the shoe store all by themselves (while I was up the block trying on sports bras as a crucial first step to meeting my New Year's resolution to exercise). This was a first -- although Craig and I successfully share nearly all of our parenting responsibilities, up to this point I have done nearly all of the clothes shopping. (I also do nearly all of the nail clipping; I wonder why that is?) Craig bought a few adorable items for Isaac (including a tiny red t-shirt with a cowboy on it!) when he was a few days old, but he left Isaac at home with me. Anyway, the two of them tried on and picked out these shoes together, and all I had to do was give the final approval. Approval granted!
