It has finally happened. At a happy hour last week this lady walked up to us and told us that she wanted to give us a recommendation. The shoes Lilli was wearing were bad for her and we should buy orthopedic shoes. She also recommended a brand. I know she didn't mean bad, but I felt like she was telling us we are bad parents for letting our daughter wear the wrong shoes.
For the record: I only had put shoes on her because she sometimes wants to walk (holding on to our hands) and I didn't want her to walk on the dirty floor barefoot. Usually she is not wearing any shoes at all because this is best. Of course I don't want her to get problems with her feet. Buying shoes for her is on the top of my priority list. But please Lady, give me a break... It is none of your business.
On Saturday we were at a birthday party. Lilli got up and walked through the room. Dh and I were just stunned.
We installed her big girl car seat yesterday. It is still facing backwards, but soon we will be able to turn it around. Lilli's long legs are kind of squeezed in right now.

Congrats! You are now the mother of a toddler!
Pffft to Mrs Buttinsky.
WALKING...how unbelievable! I can't believe how much they grow and change in one short year!
That is annoying about the shoe lady. I wonder what it is about little babies that makes people think they can just start spewing their ideas at you? Very odd. I guess you just have to take it with a grain of salt. Take the advice you can use and let the rest of it run off! :)
