I ended up buying a bigger pair of the shoes Jack loves so much. A day after I placed the order on TinySoles.com his big toe rubbed a hole in the too-small pair, so it was just in time. He either hasn’t noticed the difference with the new shoes or is happy just to be able to wear his “brown shoes” without being offered other choices first. Thank goodness I could find the same kind; I don’t believe See Kai Run is still manufacturing that particular shoe. Yay for old inventory! I probably should have gotten the next few sizes…
Is this a 2 year old thing?

Jack has grown a ton in the last couple months. He is at least an inch taller and he is growing out of his size 6 shoes. I have stocked up on bigger shoes in 7 and 8 – some cute Converse and awesome See Kai Run shoes. Unfortunately, Jack refuses to wear them (if I can get them on, he throws a screaming fit until I take them off). I don’t get it. The ends of his shoes are fraying from rubbing against his toes that are obviously getting squished in there and yet he still refuses to wear any of the 3 new pairs of shoes I bought for him.
I am not sure what to do. He can’t wear his sandals (which still fit) in the rain! I wonder if he has gotten attached to the color of his old shoes? Would it work if I bought him the same shoes in the bigger size? Any suggestions?
