Cold Feet

With the snow coming, we got winter boots for Nathaniel. We picked out some very nice boots from Land's End. Very cute, warm and affordable. I even spoke with a customer rep to make sure the size would be OK, they assured me it would be.

We got the boots this week and they look great, but they are useless. Try as I might, I can't get Nate's feet in them. They might even fit, if he could step into them, but getting shoes on a toddler is like trying to tread a needle, and the tread is a squirming python. And these boots had a pretty big opening, but it was to no avail, they weren't getting on his big dogs.

So it looks like Nate's first step on snow will be in sneakers.

Why can't they make kids shoes like ski boots, whith a hinge at the heel and you step in through the back? Million dollar idea right there.
