Only one week until my daughter starts full time school! We set off today for the usual visit to Clarks. I had already decided in my head not to rise my expectations over what shoes would be avaliable in her size. Although secretly inside I still wanted to have the patent ones with the flashy lights, the ones that she had for her first pair of shoes. She had a pair of those shoes for less than a month! We somehow lost one shoe between the parent and child car parking space and the entrance to tesco, I immediately retraced my steps but that shoe was never to be found.
I have obviously never completely got over this as everytime we see this shoes I get drawn towards them. Cerys picked these out today too before getting measured. She tried them on and they looked gorgeous but she then decided that she now longer liked these. This was when I realised that a lot has changed between shopping with a three year old to a four year old. She has her own mind and a very strong one at that. She eventually picked some out that she liked and that weren't "too squeaky". They unfortunately didn't have her size so we have ordered the correct size to be delivered to store, hopefully by friday. I just hope that she hasn't changed her mind by then. :-)
