Little Shoes for Little Feet

One Sunday morning as I was out buying breakfast, I was walking behind a couple with their toddler. The toddler was being carried by the father. I thought she looked rather adorable.

All of a sudden, “pop” a little shoe fell right before me. The couple had not realised it. They kept on walking ahead. I picked up the shoe, ran after them and passed it to the embarrassed but amused couple. They thanked me and laughed. I can see that they adored their little girl. Such a happy moment in their lives…. being young parents to a sweet little girl.

It brings me back to a nostalgic moment in the not too distant past. My little girl is 8 now and my little boy is 6, long past toddlerhood but oh how I remember those “shoe dropping” moments. We certainly had our fair share of those! We even lost some lovely looking baby shoes that way because we only realised it when we got home.

Those shoes were nice to look at but poorly fitted. We would have benefited from watching the following video on how to fit girl’s shoes. I am sure other parents would too.

What about you? Have you had any unforgetable “shoe dropping” moments?
