First shoes for Shone

Last few weekends, I bought a shoes I thought would fit Shone from Tesco(when he is barely learning how to walk) but failed...cannot fit..sigh..I blog about it here . As for Chinese, or at least my mom believe can only let baby wear a shoes after his 1 year old birthday. So since Shone had reached 1 year old then yet haven't really started walking, I still persisted in my shoes-hunting adventure~

 

Anyhow, it's never easy to buy a shoes for babies/toddler without their presence. Need the owner presence to test it out.

 

Finally last weekend I managed to find one for him..from Jusco, Anakku brand.

 

Actually, before this I was looking for those soft sole shoes like Shoos Shoos or Bugalog brand..but their biggest size(24months) does not seems to fits my son's large and chubby feet...and considering the price..he would outgrown him VERY VERY SOON...so..not worth investing in my case otherwise I simply love the quality of their shoes!

 

Would soon be shopping for a sandal for him as he inherited my easily-sweaty feet!

 

Cheers!

Why you didn't ask in the first place?

Yep, that is what I told myself whenever I tend to "blame" the time wasted or opportunity wasted or even relationship "broken" (or hurt).

This morning I went to Tesco to try returning a shoes I bought for Shone (too small..even at size 5...when KY can wear size 4 at his age...hmm..underestimate his feet size...for one year old kid..hmm). But deep inside I thought hmm wonder if I can just get a refund instead of getting another shoes as replacement...but I only ask this question silently and not ALOUD to the customer service personnel...SIGH...

So I wasted my time searching for suitable shoes(yet again...I should have known there's no more design and size suitable after my last visit..else I would have got it...)...and FINALLY i returned to the counter with a shoes for KY instead even though she doesn't need another shoes as I have got her a new one when I bought one for Shone...

Then I told myself why not I try asking for refund instead of buying another "not-needed" and "not so nice" shoes for KY. So I asked and I got my refund...cheh...this episode reminded me YET AGAIN....ASK ...ASK.... you won't lose anything except getting a NO as reply...if you DON'T ASK, what you get FOR SURE is...WASTE of time, opportunity and etc etc...

So folks..here's my lesson thought for the day! Have you been ASKING every now and then like how our kids do? Smart little ones...haha...I am not even at their par.."shy"

Cheers!
