Whoever Invented These Grrr
Oh my gosh who in the world invented the shoes that squeak with they walk. Ugh!!! it is the most annoying thing ever. A year or so ago I had a girl come in those and oh geez her dad thought they were the cutest and he would laugh every time she would jump around or dance, she was 4, I found nothing cute about them. Now today I had another little girl walk in the door with those, like that's really all I want to hear when we are outside. These are the parents that I want to buy the LOUDEST toy for their childs birthday and send it home.

See if the squeakers are removable. I think most are!

OT is prescribing these locally for late walkers. I have TWO with them (walked at 14m and 17m)

Thanks in advance for your understanding, of course. :p I also already have "fad shoes" covered in my handbook under toys from home. Mine started back with those stupid themed plugs that popped into clogs/crocs. I took one away from an infant once and banned them all forever. ;) No lighted, glittered, bedazzled, musical, rolling, or any other obnoxious "look at me" shoes allowed in the classroom. I also provide play shoes to take the drama out of it. :ouch: I don't like tending crushed little fingers unecessarily or having to deescalate toddlers guarding them all day. :dislike: We have better things planned. I am kind of excited about those new sneakers that zip in a half circle from the top of the foot around the toes and back to the other ankle. likethis Will make correct sizing and preventing blisters much easier. :Sunny: |
