MJ finally got new shoes! He's been wearing Red Keen Newports for 5 years. This is his first real pair of shoes. He's actually happy about it too. He is such a creature of habit and gettng him to get different shoes has been something I've been trying to do for ages.
I was listening to MJ tell me one of his lengthy stories after school Wednesday. I looked down at his stinky feet and noticed how his arches have fallen and his feet have changed. A LOT. He's been complaining about how painful it is to walk more than a little. I didn't understand that it was his arches that hurt so bad. He just said the bottoms hurt.
He wore his new Brooks running shoes to school yesterday and was so happy. He ran all day. We'll be seeing his doctor for a referal to a foot specialist to see what we can do to help correct the arch problem.
Once we see the doctor, he's going to join the local Cross Country team since he is continually telling me he was "born to run." No short distance stiff for this boy, he wants the long runs.
