New Red Shoes

Sammy just loves his new red shoes that he picked out, red like Arthur and Caillou wear. We finally have the new size right, an 11W (eek! already!), and as you can see in the following pictures, Sammy is wearing them happily.




Giving us all a good view of both his and Arthur's red shoes. I believe Caillou was still resting in bed when these pictures were taken this afternoon.

Here's my question for my other mom friends: do you make sure that you can fit a thumb between the top of their toe and the end of the shoe? These red shoes look huge, but really it's only about a thumb of extra space at the top, like I've always heard you want with kids' shoes. So, curious to hear what others do. I think Sammy wears a bigger size than most of his friends and I wonder if it's because I give him the extra room? :headscratch:
