Little E: Out of Balance

Little E has worn the same shoes since he began walking: size XW New Balance sneakers.  We may switch up the color but it is always the same shoe.  It's the only shoe I can find that will close over Little E's Fred Flintstone feet.

Currently he is rocking a gray pair.  I bought them right before school started, so they are still in pretty good shape.

Last week, I got a call from one of Little E's teachers.  Anytime I get a call from school I expect the worst.

At some point during the day, Little E had ended up with another student's gray New Balances.  His teacher requested I send them back the next day.

I checked his shoes as soon as the bus dropped him off.  Sure enough they were a size smaller and were just W, not XW.  I pictured Cinderella and laughed at the visual of Little E jamming his foot into the wrong shoe.

I thought it and my mom and Mr. Yoy both asked it.

HOW DID HE NOT REALIZE HE WAS WEARING THE WRONG SHOES IN THE WRONG SIZE?

He just didn't.

The day before he hopped off the bus with his shoes on the wrong feet and was able to run full speed up the hill to our house.

That's my boy!

Fits like a glove.

The gold standard in fat feet footwear.
