Big Shoes To Fill






One of AJ's latest interests is clumping around the house in the shoes of anyone else with feet that are bigger than his. Since Joe wears a size 13, this can get a little ridiculous and is probably not the safest activity for him to engage in, but he keeps going back to it over and over. I remember doing the same thing as a kid and being fascinated with the shoes of my mom and grandma. My mom had a pair of wooden clogs that were popular in the 70's and made awesome clomping noises when they were hanging off of little feet. My grandma had quite a collection of stylish high heels and mules in a size 5 1/2, which was not much bigger than the shoes that my sister and I wore around age 5 or so. We spent many happy hours in her closet trying on party shoes and checking ourselves out in the mirror.
