Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 That's great !! I can sense some good sleeps comin your way =). Did you by chance move his feet out a bit further as well? Still think that he should be a bit more widely spaced. Good luck, should be so much easier for you now that he has a shoe that fits! & Grace > > I won't be here today to respond(toddler music class for my 2 yr > old, school and dance for my 5 yr old), but I just wanted to let > everyone know how we are doing.
