I just found these in a box, alongside a picture of the little man in question wearing them.
These were George’s first ever shoes. I saved them. I am indeed a sentimental old fool, but who could part with such a symbol of the great ‘walking’ milestone?
From baby to almost-hairy man in such a seemingly meteoric amount of time. Feet no longer cute or indeed kissable. Willingness to be kissed similarly dissipated.
I cannot think that I shall ever let these go.
Life’s a journey, save every Step (metaphorically and literally).
hang them on your christmas tree-that’s what i did this year and they add another memory
That’s a great idea, thanks!!
Of course, you have to keep them! I was gutted my local Clarks didn’t do the photo thing
Cannot let them go….wot no photo?!!!! I hope you took your own!
Aw how lovely. My Mum kept mine so I’ve kept my kids’ too. Just put my little boys first pair away actually. Looks like i need to savour every second of him being ‘little’ then! x
I wish mum had kept mine, she wasn’t quite as sentimental as me…she’d be tutitng right now!!!!
Amazing, I love them! I’ve just popped Miss Mouse’s first pair in her memory box! Too cute xx
Memory Box – great idea!!! Don’t forget you can make an online one at ww.saveeverystep.com (cheeky smiley face)

I am the same – but when the memory box comes out it reminds me of how much has gone by, which I find quite sad!! Thanks for linking this to the Love Mummy Blogs showcase
