EBay = Trouble!

Addison does not like shoes. I can't blame her really, because her feet are so chubby that in order to wear shoes, her feet have to be crammed in there so tightly. I have tried several times to somehow morph her feet, and make the shoes work, but they don't. Baby shoes are SO expensive that I really haven't worried much about her not wearing them anyway.

Addison would be walking if she didn't stand directly on her tip-toes every time she stood up. Travis is glad because he says she'll make a great track star someday. I'm okay with the fact that she's not walking yet..she's enough trouble as a crawler! However, my sister suggested that I try shoes again in an effort to get her off of her toes. She mentioned that her son used little leather soled shoes, that are more like slippers, when he was a baby, and they worked well for him.

I did some searching on the Internet for the above said shoes, and they are normally priced around $50...$50 for baby shoes..yeah right! So, I ventured on to EBay, and much to my delight, found several varieties with auctions starting at around $15. There were lots of bids on the shoes, and so I thought I would be wise to bid on several pairs to ensure that I got at least one of them. About a day later, I logged on again to check on my bidding status. To my surprise, shock, and eventual horror, I saw four different notices, that each said, "Congratulations, ngines801, you have won this item!" Needless to say, I spent much more than $50, on baby shoes, but have four cute pairs to show off!
