And so it begins....

Worryingly Abigail likes nothing better than being out shopping! I'm talking proper shopping here mind, not boring old food shopping. - You only ever get half way round Asda before she starts!

After 6 weeks of using 'Cruisers' until she was comfortable walking properly, it was time yesterday to take Abigail for her first pair of decent walking shoes. Some thing's haven't changed from when I was a bairn, in that 'Clarks' is still seen as the place to go.

Hardest part seemed to be finding a pair with a proper buckle. Erm hello! -what's the point of Velcro on babies shoes?! Surely it obvious they'll just constantly take them off. Or at least Abigail would!

Anyway we got there in the end, and the staff pulled out a Polaroid camera (never seen one of them in a while!) to make a presentation card of the occasion....


Having a whale of a time in Mothercare breaking in the shoes..!
