Shoes

So far this year Matthew has gone through a pair of shoes a term! First term I bought expensive ones. So second term I didn't buy as expensive ones. And they still only lasted a term. He is not only wearing through them he is bursting (growing) out of them too! Now I understand why my Mum was always complaining about buying me shoes!
This term he requested one with laces. As apparently the laces are what make Thomas run the fastest and how can he possible compete with him if he doesn't have laces? And after two week of holidays we are still trying to teach him to tie them himself!
