Shoes for little feet

tiptoey.jpgMy first shopping experience with baby shoes was when Clayton turns one. I bought him a pair of  Tip Toey Joey and added two more to the collection as they are so comfy and nicely-designed for his little feet.

I knew nothing about baby shoes at that time so I did abit of research to find out what’s best for little feet. Here are my findings:

• Baby shoes should be soft and non-restrictive to protect the baby’s soft bones that are growing fast

•  Should preferably by lined with padded insoles to allow baby’s feet to flex naturally and absorbs perspiration

•  Should have non-slip rubber soles

• Should be easy to put on and adjust to the shape of baby’s feet

• Would be nice if it’s attractive too!

Buying with a purpose

Clayton received a cute and lovely handmade teddy bear from our close friend, Bro Cheong and his dear wife. My eyes lit up when I unwrapped the gift. This must be one of the nicest, loveliest, crafted bear I have seen. These bears made great gifts for any occasion and what more, you are touching someone’s life when you purchase a bear.

*From 100teddybear.com:

There is a mission for these teddies. These teddy bears are mascots for 100teddybear. They are ambassadors for returning moments and magic for these children. Children needing care, attention, love, food and most of all, to be given a simple chance to survive.

For a start, 100teddybear.com is dedicated to granting wishes of orphaned children listed in this website; children without the grace and fortune of ever receiving the joy of having teddy bears in their lives. 100teddybear.com makes it possible for you to provide one or more teddy bears for the children. Valentine’s Day is approaching. It is an appropriate to send a child a special gift.

And do you know that if you purchase 2 bears, 100teddybear.com will donate one bear of your choice to an orphaned child.

We can’t help every child but it makes a difference even if we can help one.
