Nope. She's size 8 women's now (yes she is a huge kid). I found

them. I find whatever she needs.

And her teachers convinced her she was ready to prove Mommy wrong and

learn how to tie her own shoes and get big girl shoes. And she did

it. She was 9yo, but she did it!

Okay, so my dd is still in velcro at 7 years but I think I'd better

start insisting we switch over. I'll let you know how THAT goes.

I refused to buy tie shoes until she learned how to do it

herself. I only allowed her to have velcros until she could prove it

to me that she could do it.
