I am just hoping we get an appointment in the next few weeks and that it doesn't

take months to speak to someone!

I haven't been in your school. I am a lawyer (a nice one I promise) and I

represent children in custody/access and child protection cases. We often go

the school to see kids or talk to the teachers. Both of my parents were

teachers as well.

I'll keep looking for the shoes!

Beth: shoes

I think the information I got from my sister last night in regards to

shoes will benefit many of you. Man she's the person to ask about shoes!!

OK Beth

Believe it or not, there are NO children shoe stores in all of Durham

region. There use to be one, but they went out of business. The only one my

sister goes to is Kiddie Kobler. It's in Fairview Mall (Don Mills and the 404).

She said there is also one in Markville Centre but she's never been to that one.

She loves the one at Fairview because they measure the feet so perfectly

and really the staff know what they are talking about. My sister said the best

brand of shoe is Stride Rite. These shoes are made of soft leather, have

excellent ankle support but at the same time the soles are flexible. Apparently

that is key in a shoe---the sole must be flexible. As I said, this girl knows

what she is talking about. I had no clue.

She also said that there is a store called Panda Shoes at Markville but

she found them horrible. They measured her daughter's foot wrong and she was

stuck with a pair of shoes that were expensive but slid off her foot. The Stride

Rite shoes are expensive; $60.00 to $70.00 but she said it's well worth it.

Besides our RSS kids feet (and the rest of the body) don't grow often so you

will get your moneys worth!!

OK I have to run to work. Hope that helps!
