First shoes - how long will they survive the Taylor house

I am a great fan of cute little shoes, but I equally hate to see shoes on babies feet. If they are not walking ( and if they are walking but inside), then I firmly think their little toes should be free and open to the elements.

Its been so cold that when we have been out Elliot has been wearing slippers just to stop his toes from dropping off due to frost bite. However now that he has taken his first steps it was time to head into Clarks for those first shoes.

The lovely young lady measured him, and thank the lord we got a sale pair at only £14, so that made a nice change. He has tiddly feet at size 3, I am sure none of the others were walking with such tiny totsies.

The shoes look cute cute cute, but I am sure they will be:

chewed by the dogs, or at least slightly licked by them at some point.

lost while out walking, causing me to have a fit ( but hopefully they will be found again)

mysteriously disappear at the last minute when I am in a rush to leave the house

used to kick his brother and sisters

covered in mud and water after he rolls in a puddle somewhere.

filled with sand while sitting on a beach

destroyed after I attempt to wash them either in the sink or in the washing machine

You never know the poor shoes may survive, but I doubt it.
