This summer we bought Paige new tennis shoes. By the time she put them on a few weeks later they didn't feel right. Ok, so I returned them. School was about to start, so we went out and bought 2 more pairs of shoes. First day of school comes and she puts on the cute pink and white addidas. "They don't fit right, too tight". OK, are you sure, we just bought them a couple weeks ago? Luckily the slip ons were fine. We make the special trip to the Skechers store spend lots of time looking, trying, making sure. One of the problems was that she was right between girls and womens. I felt sad telling my 9 yr old, at the time, to disregard those cute sparkly blue or pink shoes on that side of the store and to focus on the ladies shoes that are severly lacking in what a young girl wants. Luckily they had some white ones with a few rhinestones, and a cute pair of black converse type shoes. We started by trying the 6 1/2, then asked for the 7, then had to ask for the 7 1/2!! My she's growing by the minute the guy said. This must be true!! because 3 weeks later they don't fit right! AARRGG! "Are you sure they don't fit? we just got them. where are they too tight?" We haven't had time or luck finding new tennis shoes, but she needs them for PE. When coach C said "the pink sparkly slip on shoes are okay but not great" as Paige tried to sit on her shoes so the coach wouldn't remember they were hers, it was time to get serious. Long story longer, she went to tennis and didn't have anything but the pink sparkly shoes, so I suggested trying on my size 8 1/2 shoes with some thick socks. They worked and she even wore them to school on Wed. for PE! Her feet are growing by the minute! She even wants to share shoes :)
Yea Paige!!!! Paige has been playing awesome this soccer season. Today she had a game at 3pm and it was only 90 degrees. She was really getting in there and kicking the ball. The other team had a corner kick and it bounced off one of the other girls and scored on themselves, but Paige was the closest to the girl so the ref called it her goal. But it gets better. Later she dribbled the ball down to the goal and kicked it in right past the goalie!!!! Great job Paige. Her second goal of her career. 2 goals in 4 years, We'll take it!!! We are so proud of you Paige. Of course we went to BJ's to celebrate and got the pizookie to finish off the meal. Yum!
