No Snow for Charlie

I know that Charlie is small for her age (she still wears a 3-6 months in some things!) but she is the toughest 15 month old girl I have met. However, aparently only children with a size 5 boot or bigger should go outside in the snow.


I have been looking for snow boots for Charlie for weeks. This past weekend Jenn and I went to every store in the mall we could think of to find snow boots for my little girl. We received the same response everywhere we went "A toddler 3 or 4? No, they don't make them that small." It was so frustrating. So Sunday morning, after Charlie pointed outside and signed "please" for over 1/2 hour, I let her go out in just regular shoes. We weren't outside for more than 10 minutes since I was worried about her feet getting cold and wet, but she had the best time. (hopefully I will upload those pictures tonight and get them posted)



So I got Nick in on the snow boot hunt. He is an ebay whiz. I thought if anyone can find her snow boots, it would be him. No luck. Only size 5 or bigger. I know that my kid is not the smallest 15 month old on the planet. I can not believe that it is almost impossible to find her snow boots!


Yesterday I lucked out. Childrensplace.com had 1 toddler size 4 left. The boots are as ugly as can be, but they will keep her feet warm. So now all we have to do is wait for them to come and cross our fingers that they fit (or at least fit with 5 pairs of socks on!) I can tell you this, I will be frequenting childrensplace.com now that they have saved my Charlie's winter!
