Oct. 27th, 2013 11:19 pmIt's finally happened!
I understand her angst and woe; being the oldest means being the biggest for so long, and then one day they start outpacing you, one by one, the braggarts. *shaking my fist at the sky and cursing Laura and Bob, how dare you grow taller than me, HOW DARE YOU*
In other news, I have been damn spoiled by Ananda and Aaron's shoe sizes being relatively stable for a couple of years now. Aaron is in this megagrowthspurt though, it's kinda insane, and now...his shoes don't fit. That means, the $100 Vibrams his Opa bought him don't fit. The (nice) skates I got him for his birthday in late July, only used a handful of times, don't fit.
NONE OF HIS VARIOUS DANCE SHOES FIT O_O Not the hip hop sneakers, the ballet shoes, the jazz shoes (all purchased new in September, for the school/dance year). Not the vented, lightweight combat boots Tawanna ordered for them all to take to competition in the Spring, that will probably be needed again if they use that dance again.
I am not really sure how to go about covering his feet at the moment, because it seems extremely foolish to buy anything immediately - it'll obviously only be transitional. Blargh.
Isaac's outgrown his sneakers, too, but that seems so much simpler. His Crocs still fit. He's growing at a nice even pace and the new sneakers will last a decent amount of time.
Our All Hallow's Read books are all here, ready to go! I am excited.
Books to Buy Next (probably as Christmas presents):
-The Thief of Always, by Clive Barker
-Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman
-Alice in Tumblrland by Tim Manley
I will, ideally, come back and edit that list as time passes.
