I love a brilliant invention. I really like new stuff that makes me smack myself on the head and say "why didn't I think of that?" Things like the Spin-Pop. You know that motorized thing for suckers so that you don't have to turn them? You just put it on your tongue and push the button. It practically licks itself.
I found one of those smack-myself-in-the-head brilliant things today at Wal-Mart. I know, I hate Wal-Mart, too, but I had to go there for something else and then I wandered down the baby shoe aisle. Did you know they have shoes with see-through bottoms? How cool is that? Right up at the toe is a little window with two lines on it. One says "Room to Grow", and the other reads "Perfect Fit." You put your baby's foot in there and you never have to mash down the toe to guess whether or not it fits again. You can just look through the window and see if he's outgrowing his shoes. Isn't that smart? How many shoes have I put on how many feet? A toe window. Why didn't I think of that?
Can you see those little toes? Aren't they cute? I usually make the kids all wear socks, but the naked baby toes were just too irresistible.

I found a webpage that sells the shoes so you will not have to go to the evil-mart. I guess you would have to try them on at the mart to get the size right.

Loretta said how do you see if it fits when the kids is standing up? She told me that your foot gets bigger when you stand.
She also said that is there a little light inside, because she always thought it was dark inside a shoe.
I don't think these will be showing up at our house.

Vince, It's so easy. You stand them on a glass table and look up from underneath.
We must have gotten the cheap kind, as ours are missing? an interior light.
Thanks for the link. I really do hate Wal-Mart, but really like the shoes.
You will have to keep me posted on how they last. I was wondering about the seam between the normal sole and the window. I'm picturing the little guys running through a puddle and ending up with water getting in the window.
I do love the idea.

What next? :) (Boots are worse than shoes.)
Whoa!!! Great idea!!! Let us know how it holds up!
PS: I hope you saw that you won a prestigious award for Bible in the Bubble!
