Baby Needs a New Pair of Shoes

It is, as they say here in beantown, summatime. All sorts of fun and frolic is afoot. Speaking of feet, our little guy needed some new kicks for the season. Of course, we took him straight to the sensible shoe store, to get the recommended pediatric orthopedic ergonomic organic baby einstein type footwear. The selection was, in a word, "eh."

We were looking for something special, something cool for the hot summer fun ahead. And then, Cole spied, with his little eye, the best shoes ever!

Behold - Baby's first flip flops! With monkeys on them! Adorable much?

Jealous? Me too.

OK, so, they do have an additional strap (flup?), sort of a flip flop training wheel, for beginners. Cut the kid some slack, he just started walking, he doesn't need to add any extra credit difficulty points just yet.

What's great about flip flops, is that they go with just about everything. Like for example a cargo shorts and a dinosaur camo ensemble?

Seeing as how flip flops are practically the Stein family crest, this is kind of a big deal. Thanks uncle John, for being such a good role model.

flip flop training wheels indeed! great turn of phrase and concept katestein! also, speaking of stein's flipflopsession, when I last moved, I counted 11 pairs of flip flops in my possession. does that mean I have a problem?

in my defense, i say, there flip flops for different occasions, yo! my sisters in flip flop-edness know there is such a thing as "dress flip flops" vs. your every day going-to-the-deli pair
