So, I just remembered today that I had Christmas and B-day $ for Jonas that is yet to be spent. So, I had fun getting him some new kicks and the long awaited Haiti shirt. I have to be so particular about his shoes, because the kid is a shoe Houdini!!! He has an AFO (Ankle Foot Orthotic) on his left foot for stability and nothing on the right. He has left-hemi Cerebral Palsy,this is why he needs the AFO. Fortunately, the kid has super narrow feet, so even with the AFO, I can still wear Converse on him. Since he is the shoe Houdini, I have to buy the high-tops, or he would never have a right shoe on. :-) He CAN NOT get these off, so this will be our shoe of choice for a VERY LONG TIME. At least they are in style... :-)
So, what is he getting in the mail soon??? He already has a black pair and he grew out of his red pair last year. Finally his feet are starting to grow. For as HUGE as he is, already wearing 5/6 pants and tops at age 4; his feet are tiny. He wears a toddler size 8 in Converse, and I am ordering 9's, so they last a little longer.
With no further ado:

the converse are killing me. i love them so much- especially the brown pair. you have to take pics of him in his new shirt/shoes :)
Oh, Rebecca-
I wish I would have known this. Joe is the same way and you have no clue how many shoes I have sent out...I could have given them all to you!!!
Denise-
Does Joe still wear his AFO? What shoes do you get for him now that he is older? It is so hard to find shoes, especially when they are little and like to take them off. Converse work the best for us, but they don't look amazing when he is really dressed up. :-) We will just have to get them for all occasions, so he is not shoeless half of the time. Let me know any hints that you have for shoes... Can't wait for next week...
